Ingredients

• 1 lb ground chicken
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce, plus extra for topping
• 4 sesame seed burger buns
• Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, avocado, or pickles

How to Make Savory Chicken Burger with Sweet Sauce

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
3. Preheat a grill or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the grill or skillet to prevent sticking.
4. Cook the chicken patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
5. During the last minute of cooking, brush the tops of the patties with sweet chili sauce to glaze them.
6. Toast the sesame seed buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
7. Assemble the burgers by placing a chicken patty on the bottom half of each bun. Drizzle additional sweet chili sauce on top, and add your favorite toppings before placing the top half of the bun on.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra flavor, let the chicken mixture sit for 15-30 minutes before forming patties.
• Ensure the grill or skillet is well-heated to achieve a nice sear on the patties.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through but still juicy.

Easy Variations

• Swap ground chicken for turkey or lean beef for a different flavor profile.
• Add chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for a fresh twist.
• Spice it up with a dash of sriracha mixed into the chicken mixture for heat.

What to Serve With It

• Sweet potato fries for a healthier side option.
• A fresh garden salad to balance out the savory flavors.
• Coleslaw for a crunchy, tangy accompaniment.
• Grilled corn on the cob for a summer vibe.
