"Me 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽 Hot Honey - locked in for life."

 

 

 

Lately, I’ve developed a full-blown obsession with Hot Honey, and honestly, I’m not mad about it. It all started after I made my Nashville Hot Honey Mozzarella Sticks (click here for the recipe), and since then I’ve been dreaming up new ways to use that sweet-heat combo. These Nashville Hot Honey Chicken Burgers were the natural next step, delivering crispy chicken, sticky glaze and serious flavour in every bite.

 

One element that really brings balance to these burgers is the dressing. Any light, creamy dressing works well, but I genuinely think Homemade Ranch Dressing is the perfect match here. I’ve shared this recipe before (click here for the recipe), and it adds that cool, herby contrast that ties all the flavours together beautifully without overpowering the burger. 

 

Now, let’s talk Slaw, because texture matters. You can use a ready-made slaw mix if you’re short on time, but I kept it simple by using what I had in the fridge, by finely shredding lettuce, cabbage and carrots. Tossed with a quick slaw dressing (healthy recipe coming soon), it added the perfect crisp bite to the burgers.

 

I’ll be honest, I was really unwell when I made these, and I genuinely think I may have had a new strain of Covid at the time. Even so, I still needed to shoot this half prepped recipe, which was a challenge. Cooking, plating and shooting through it was one thing, but editing the content afterwards was quite an interesting, seeing how unwell me did what she had to do.

 

Now, because I was feeling so rough the day I actually made this, I was knocked out right after cleaning up, I didn't even taste it. My mum ended up freezing the remaining unfried chicken and sauce, while storing the homemade ranch dressing and slaw in airtight containers in the fridge. Some days later, we got to enjoy these burgers and they were delicious. It really highlighted how well this recipe can be prepped in advance.
