Why This Chicken Burger Recipe Stands Out
This recipe transforms ground chicken into something extraordinary. Nevertheless, instead of drying out, the burgers remain tender and juicy, thanks to aromatic seasonings, sautéed onions, and a balance of savoury and sweet flavours. No complicated techniques or hard-to-find ingredients—just real flavour in every bite.
To make this recipe, you will need the following,
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 3/4 cup coconut flour or 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
Instructions
- Sauté aromatics: In a medium skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- Prepare the mixture: In a medium bowl, mix the ground chicken, sautéed onions and garlic, parsley, onion powder, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, egg, coconut flour or breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Stir until fully combined.
- Chill if needed: If the mixture feels too wet to handle, refrigerate it for 20 minutes to firm up.
- Form the patties: With lightly moistened hands, shape the chicken mixture into round, flat patties using about 3 tablespoons per patty.
- Cook the burgers: Heat the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for 5–6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Serve and enjoy: Serve your juicy chicken patties on burger buns with toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, or your favourite sauce. For a low-carb option, enjoy them bun-less or wrapped in lettuce.
Best Juicy Chicken Burger for Any Occasion
Whether you’re meal prepping, barbecuing, hosting friends, or cooking a quick dinner, these juicy chicken burgers are an ideal pick. Pair them with sweet potato fries, roast potatoes, coleslaw, or a fresh salad for a balanced and tasty plate. They’re kid-friendly, customizable, and incredibly satisfying.
Can I Make Chicken Burgers in Advance?
Yes, you can make the chicken mixture a day ahead, then cover it with plastic wrap or an airtight container and store it in the fridge. Remove and form the patties just before cooking. You can also form the patties, lay them on a flat baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 4 hours. Remove them and freeze in a ziplock bag until ready to eat or for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw in the fridge for 8 hours or overnight and cook as usual
Can I Bake or Airfry the Burgers Instead?
Yes, these can be baked as well. Place in a lined baking tray and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. You can also air fry for the same time, turning them halfway
