Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil for sautéing
  • ¼ cup yellow onion minced
  • 1 lb. ground chicken lean, for healthier burgers
  • ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs helps bind the burger mixture
  • 2 tablespoon mayonnaise adds moisture and flavor
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley minced, for flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce adds umami flavor
  • ½ teaspoon salt seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder adds depth
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked for best flavor
  • 4 hamburger buns for serving, toasted

Optional Toppings:

  • red onion sliced, for crunch
  • lettuce for freshness
  • tomato sliced, for juiciness
  • pickles for a tangy crunch

Instructions

  • Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat (about 400°F).
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes, until soft and fragrant. Remove from heat.
    Onions are being sautéed in a pan, adding a soft, caramelized texture and rich flavor that can be used as a topping or mixed into the burger patty.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, sautéed onion, panko, mayo, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
    The wet and dry ingredients are combined in a bowl, including chicken, breadcrumbs, seasonings, and other flavorings to form the chicken patty mixture.
  • Divide the mixture into four equal portions (about 4 oz each). Gently shape into patties and press a shallow indent into the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly and prevent puffing up.
  • Place buns cut-side down on the hot grill for 1–2 minutes, until lightly golden and crisp. Set aside.
    The burger buns are lightly toasted, giving them a crispy texture on the inside while providing a sturdy base to hold all the delicious fillings.
  • Grill the patties for 4–5 minutes per side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
    The chicken patties are being grilled on a stovetop or grill, showing grill marks, which indicates they’re cooking to perfection for that crispy exterior and juicy interior.
  • Let the burgers rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Then serve on the toasted buns with your favorite toppings.

Notes

These chicken burgers are a leaner alternative to beef, but still packed with flavor. Serve with your favorite toppings for a fun and customizable meal!
