Method

Meat mixture: In a large bowl, mix chicken, bacon, cajun seasoning, grill seasoning, cheddar cheese, blue cheese, garlic, and buffalo wing sauce. Mix meat gently and form into small 2 X 1/3 inch patties and set aside. Using a mandolin or sharp knife, shave celery into very thin crescents. In a jar, mix olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper then shake until well emulsified. Just before assembling burger bites, dress celery with enough dressing to moisten. Sauce: In a small bowl, mix sour cream, mayonnaise, cheese crumbles and cajun seasoning then set aside. Other: Heat a nonstick skillet, over medium high heat, brush with olive oil. Cook burgers 2-3 minutes per side, until cooked through. Just before assembly, top patties with a piece of pepper jack cheese and cover, so cheese melts on top of burgers. Begin toasting buns, if desired, just before assembly. To assemble burger bites, place a patty on each roll, add a teaspoon or more of buffalo wing sauce. Place a few teaspoons of celery slaw on top, or serve on the side if desired. Slather a few teaspoons of blue cheese sauce on each bun top and serve immediately.
