The Best Ground Chicken Burgers

Step 1

Make the burger sauce by mixing the sauce ingredients together (mayo, mustard, lemon juice, smoked paprika, and salt & pepper). Taste and adjust as needed.

Step 2

Oil and pre-heat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 3

Chop the chives and oregano, and prepare your toppings.

Step 4

In a medium to large bowl, add the ground chicken, chives, oregano, minced garlic, lemon juice, breadcrumbs, mayo, and salt & pepper. Using your hands, gently mix everything together, taking care to not over handle the mixture.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

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