The Best Ground Chicken Burgers

Ingredients

• 1 cup mayo
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt & pepper (to taste)
• 1 pound ground chicken
• 2 tablespoons mayo
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
• 1 large clove garlic (minced)
• Salt & pepper (to taste)
• Hamburger buns, butter leaf lettuce, tomato, avocado, red onion, etc. (optional, to taste)

Instructions

1. 1

   Stir the burger sauce ingredients together in a medium bowl. Taste and adjust as needed.

2. 2

   Oil and preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

3. 3

   In a medium-to-large bowl, add the burger ingredients. Using your hands, gently mix everything together, taking care to not over handle the mixture.

4. 4

   Form burger patties one by one and place them on a sheet of wax paper. You should be able to make six average-size burger patties or four larger ones. Using your thumb, create a depression in the center of each patty so they cook evenly.

5. 5

   Cook the burger patties until their internal temperature is at least 165F. Cooking time really depends on your grill and the thickness of the patties. Mine generally take 5 minutes on the first side and 4 minutes on the second side (gas BBQ).

6. 6

   Once the burgers are cooked, you can toast the buns on the grill for about 30 seconds if desired.

7. 7

   Assemble burgers by spreading the sauce onto each bun and adding the burger patties and toppings.
