Spiced Chicken Burgers with Special Sauce

Spiced Chicken Burgers with Special Sauce are a scrumptious meal perfect for backyard barbecues or a weeknight meal on the fly!

Howdy! 

How was your weekend? 

I feel like I sound like a broken record because we are in full demo mode. Wake up, take Juniper to potty…..okay, hold on just a second. As a fur parent, we did have a proud moment over the weekend. JUNIPER went down the whole flight of stairs. So exciting, right? 

Yes, our dog is lazy 80% of the time, but she finally has mastered going down the stairs on her own. PHEW! We did have a moment of hope when she made it up the stairs on her own while we were working. But that was short lived because she hasn’t attempted it again. Baby steps. My hope is to get her comfortable enough to go up and down because I can’t carry her and the baby. 

Anyway, I feel like we sound like a broken record because we wake up, take Juniper to potty, make breakfast and work. Poor Mr.B is working his tail off trying to get this demo done before the baby arrives. If this were the caveman days he would have won several survival awards. This baby is so lucky to have a dad that will build a room with its own climate control settings.

Besides working on the OLD A$$ House I have been on a hamburger terror lately. Craving? Possibly. Even though I love a juicy beef burger it’s nice to switch it up for something like chicken. Hey, put the stink-eye away because these Spiced Chicken Burgers with Special Sauce are effing juicy! 

The paprika and a smidge of mayo is all you need to kick these burgers up a notch. Plus, with the addition of special sauce you’ll never know these are actually healthy for you! Maybe I should leave one at the top of the stairs to see if Juniper would go after it? 

Food for thought.
