Ground Chicken Burgers

This barbecue chicken burger recipe includes making chicken patties with a simple binder of egg and breadcrumbs, then I kick things up by adding tangy bbq sauce to the mix. These bbq chicken burgers are lean but juicy, and perfect to dress up with all kinds of toppings!

📝 Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pound ground chicken
• 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup bbq sauce
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper
• 4 hamburger buns
• lettuce, tomato, onion slices, pickles, condiments

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Set out a large bowl. Combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, barbecue sauce, egg, onion powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Mix by hand until the patty mixture is very smooth. Then divide into four equal portions.
2. 2Shape each portion into a chicken patty about the width of the hamburger buns.
3. 3Set a large skillet, or griddle, over medium heat. Once hot, drizzle olive oil in and gently place the chicken patties on the hot surface. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side. Check the patty after about 3 minutes by gently lifting up one corner with a spatula. If they start looking too dark, turn the heat down just a smidge, and continue cooking.
4. 4Place the finished chicken patties on hamburger buns and top with your favorite burger toppings.
