Homemade Juicy Chicken Burgers| Chicken Patties Recipe | Kitchenstagram

Craving a delicious chicken burger without the hassle of firing up the grill? This easy chicken burger recipe guarantees the juiciest, most flavourful patties, perfect for a quick midweek meal or a weekend BBQ with friends.

The key to avoiding dry, bland chicken burgers lies in a few simple tricks. By incorporating breadcrumbs, you lock in moisture, ensuring each bite is succulent and tender. Adding mayonnaise to the mixture not only brings a tangy taste but also enhances the juiciness of the patties.

For a burst of flavour, finely chopped onions, fresh cilantro and paprika are mixed into the chicken. These ingredients not only add a subtle kick but also deepen the overall taste. Once your patties are ready, top them with mandatory melted cheese for that gooey goodness.

When it comes to assembling burgers are not only quick to prepare and cook, but they also allow for a fun, customizable dining experience. Set out an array of toppings and let everyone build their perfect burger. Plus, they’re a healthier option, with leaner meat and lower calories, making them a sensible yet tasty choice for any meal.

Whether you’re hosting a casual weeknight dinner or sunday BBQ, this chicken burger recipe is a crowd-pleaser that doesn’t require an outdoor grill. Enjoy the juicy, flavourful goodness that will make you rethink your burger preferences.

Ingredients needed for Chicken Cheese Burger:

For Chicken Patty:

  • Ground Chicken: The star ingredient, ground chicken, forms the base of the patties. Its natural moisture and flavour make it perfect for shaping and cooking, offering a lighter alternative to beef, lamb or turkey. Many worry that chicken can be bland or dry, but this recipe ensures juicy and flavourful patty.

  • Onion: Adding red onion introduces a deeper, more complex flavour. If unavailable, shallots or yellow onions can be used.

  • Garlic: Essential for its savory depth, garlic enhances the overall flavour profile of the patties.

  • Fresh Cilantro: Cilantro infuses the patties with a burst of freshness, adding vibrant flavour that contrasts beautifully with the savory elements.

  • Mayonnaise: An crucial component, mayonnaise is mixed into the patties. It adds moisture, flavour and acts as a binder, ensuring the patties hold together well while cooking.

  • Seasonings: A classic blend of salt, pepper and paprika is used to season the patties. This combination is timeless and enhances the natural flavours of the chicken without overwhelming them.

  • Dried Bread Crumbs: These serve multiple purpose, binding the patties, maintaining their juiciness and providing a crunchy exterior. Gluten-free bread crumbs are an excellent substitute if needed. Find our Homemade Breadcrumbs RECIPE HERE!

  • Butter: Butter adds a rich buttery flavour to the patties while frying.

For the Burger:

  • Soft Buns: Opt for Hokkaido Burger buns for their airy, light texture and subtle sweetness. They offer a perfect balance of a crisp crust when toasted and a pillowy interior. If unavailable, brioche or any classic burger bun can be a good substitute, though it’s best to avoid overly chewy or crispy buns as they may be too tough for burgers.

  • Cheddar Cheese: A staple in many burgers, cheddar cheese brings a sharp, robust flavour and melts perfectly, enhancing the overall taste. Feel free to use your preferred cheese if cheddar isn’t to your liking.

  • Spicy Mayo: This ingredient is essential for adding flavour. Spicy mayo provides a creamy, rich, tangy and spicy kick, contributing to the silkiness and depth of the burger.

  • Lettuce: Use fresh coral or Burger lettuce or any lettuce of your choice, provide a refreshing base for the rich chicken patties.

  • Gherkins/ Pickles: Everyday quick pickles or your preferred variety work well. They offer a tangy contrast that cuts through the richness and saltiness of the other components, balancing the overall flavour profile of the burger.Find our HOMEMADE QUICK PICKLED ONION AND QUICK PICKLED CUCUMBER RECIPE!
