How to make Quick Ground Chicken Burgers
First, start by preparing all of the ingredients you will need for the burgers.
In addition to the ground chicken and mayonnaise, you will also need bread crumbs, an egg, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper.
You may also choose to add some fresh herbs such as parsley, basil, or cilantro to the mixture for added flavor.
Add all the ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Use your hands or a spoon to gently mix everything together, being careful not to overwork the mixture.
If you are using fresh herbs, finely chop them and add them to the mixture as well.
Once the mixture is well combined, divide it into equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty. The size of the patties will depend on your personal preference, but aim for them to be about 1/2 inch thick.
To cook the burgers, heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grill or pan with some cooking oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Once the grill or pan is hot, add the burger patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the burgers are fully cooked through.
When the burgers are cooked to your liking, remove them from the grill or pan and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
You can serve the burgers on a bun with your choice of toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, or avocado. You can also serve them on a bed of greens or with a side of vegetables for a lighter option.
