It's easy to make ground chicken burgers that are packed with flavor and so much tastier than the frozen kind.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound (454g) ground chicken
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley lightly packed, chopped
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano

For Serving (optional)

  • 4 burger buns
  • 1 large tomato sliced
  • 1 red onion sliced
  • lettuce
  • mayonnaise
  • sliced cheese

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine chicken with garlic, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, parsley, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and oregano. Use your hands to combine well.
  • Divide the mixture into 4 or 6 portions, and shape into patties.
  • Preheat the grill to medium heat (around 350°F/180°C). Clean and oil the grill grates, if using a grill pan then add a little vegetable oil. Cook for about 10 minutes on both sides until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165°F/74°C.
  • If you'd like to add cheese, place a slice on each patty after they are fully cooked. Close the grill lid and allow the cheese to melt slightly.
  • Remove from the grill and assemble the burgers.

Notes

  • This recipe will make 4 quarter-pound chicken burgers, or 6 smaller ones. 
  • If you don't have a grill, or maybe the weather isn't right for grilling, use a grill pan to make these burgers on your stovetop. Be sure to add some oil to the pan before pre-heating it. 
  • It's important to oil the grates of the grill before cooking chicken burgers, or else they will stick. 
  • Depending on how many patties you make and how thin or thick they are, you may need more or less time to cook your burgers. Use a meat thermometer to be sure that your chicken burgers reach an internal temperature of 165°F/74°C, and remove them when they do.
  • To store: Store cooked ground chicken patties in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days. They are easy to reheat in the microwave, air fryer, or in a warm skillet.
  • To freeze raw patties: I suggest freezing them individually on a sheet tray, then removing and storing them in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw ground chicken burgers in the refrigerator overnight or cook them from frozen.
