Ground Chicken Burgers
Juicy and flavorful ground chicken burgers made with moist ingredients for a satisfying and healthier alternative to beef.
Equipment
- Skillet or Grill
- Mixing Bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup fresh or panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 cup minced onion
- 1 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 1/2 tsp. minced garlic
- 3 Tbsp. mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp. minced fresh parsley (or 1 tsp dried parsley)
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 3/4 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1 lb ground chicken
- vegetable oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine breadcrumbs and milk, letting it sit for a few minutes to create a binder.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté minced onion with a small pinch of salt for about 7 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Set aside to cool.
- Once the onion mixture has cooled, add it to the breadcrumb mixture along with mayonnaise, parsley, remaining salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.
- When the mixture feels cool to the touch, add the egg and ground chicken. Use your hands to gently combine, being careful not to overwork the mixture.
- With slightly damp hands, form the mixture into six patties. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
- For grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates. Cook the patties for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- If cooking on the stovetop, heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for the same amount of time until they reach 165°F internally.
- Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
