• 1-1/4 lbs. ground chicken
• 1/4 cup plus 2 Tbs. all purpose flour
• 1 Tbs. unsalted butter
• 2 Tbs. vegetable oil
• 1-1/2 cups milk

Beat together egg and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl until well blended. Add ground chicken and mix until just combined. Form into 4 patties about 3/4 inch thick. Combine 1/4 cup flour and salt and pepper to taste. Dredge patties in seasoned flour. Melt butter in oil in a heavy nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Cook burgers about 5 minutes per side, turning once, until golden brown and chicken is just cooked through. Drain burgers on paper towels and keep warm.

Sprinkle 2 Tbs. flour into drippings in skillet over medium heat. Cook 2-3 minutes, whisking until lightly browned. Whisk in milk and hot pepper sauce.
