Juicy Chicken Burger

Ingredients:

I know, you are rolling your eyes at the heading. The ingredients list is mentioned in the recipe card so I won’t repeat it. We won’t go into surplus details.

Juicy Chicken patty:

The chicken patty is very juicy due to the secret ingredient of mayonnaise. Actually, ground chicken lacks in fat. So the oil in mayonnaise give the ground chicken extra flavor and moisture. Find freezing and baking details in the recipe card.

Caramelised onion:

Caramelized onion add the absolutely subtle taste and texture to the burger. I've kept them moderately spicy as the chicken patty is very mild in taste. If you like more flavor add mushrooms too in the sauce. You'll love it.

The burger sauce

The burger sauce is amazing and you can store it in frigde for 15 day to even a month. It is made with easy with pantry ingredients. If you like more options consider adding peri peri sauce, sweet chili sauce or you favourite sauce. Cucumber relish can also be a great addition. Chili garlic sauce is a desi favourite condiment similar to ketchup with extra garlic and red chilli flavors.

Veggies

You can go crazy here though. I kept it simple with cucumber and tomato, but iceberg or salad leaves would taste great additions. I'd like some jelapoeno and olives too.

Cheese options

You can use sliced cheddar or burger cheese. Gouda, blue cheese or swiss cheese will also taste great.

Bun options

Use sesame or any of your favorite bun. The photo was taken with potato buns.

Juicy Chicken Patty

Steps to make juicy chicken burger patty

We need fine chicken mince so you might need to pulse the chicken mince few times in the food processor for that very fine and pasty texture. (Alternatively, you can also add chicken breast chunks and pulse it until very smooth.) Simply combine all ingredient of burger patty in bowl.
Apply little oil on the hand mix it all together. The mixture wil be sticky and you might get tempted to add more bread crumbs. But be patient and let it chill it in the fridge for 30 minutes. This allows the breadcrumbs to absorb excess moisture. The mixture will be easy to handle but stil soft. That ok!
Apply little oil again and roll out seven patty out of the mixture. You can chill it agin in the fridge so it firms up a bit.
Or shallow fry in 2 tablesoon oil right away. As soon as the chicken is cooked, the patty will be firm but juicy. Do not over-cook or the patty can dry out a bit. Freshly fried patties taste best.

Caramelized Onions and Burger Sauce

This is straight away recipe of caramelized onion that I serve with all my beef steaks and burgers. Just put ingredient in the pot. Make sure to add very little oil as you can remove th excess.
Saute on medium heat until onions are soft and glossy. Yes, the glossy shine will tell you its ready.
The burger sauce is truely simple but taste amazing. Gather all ingredients in a bowl.
Just mix all ingredient and store in a jar. You can store in the fridge for 2 weeks or more until it's taste and texture remains same.

Add caramelized onions and fried chicken patty.
Add fresh veggies and cheese of your choice.
And tada! You can grill it, If you like it warm and crisp. Let the cheese melt too. Or just enjoy soft juicy burger right away.
