- 2Fry the patties. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties for about 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- 3Make the spicy mayo. In a small bowl whisk together mayonnaise, hot sauce, paprika, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.
- 4Toast the buns lightly in a skillet or griddle until warm and slightly golden.
