Ingredients

  • Burger Patties
  • 1 pound ground chicken

  • ½ medium onion diced finely

  • 3 garlic cloves pressed

  • 1 teaspoon ginger grated

  • 2 green chilies minced

  • 1 tablespoon ground coriander

  • 1 teaspoon garam masala

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • ½ cup quinoa cooked (optional)

  • ½ cup cilantro chopped

  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • To Serve
  • 4 burger buns

  • 2 lettuce leaves

  • 1 tomato sliced

  • 1 medium red onion sliced

  • Sririacha Mayo

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise

  • ¼ cup sriracha sauce

Directions

  • Preheat the oven or grill to 375 degrees. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and spray olive over it. Keep aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl add all the ingredients for burger patties and mix well.
  • Flatten the mix in the bowl and then make 2 cross slits in the middle to divide the mix into 4 quarters.
  • Use a spoon or spatula shape each quarter into a round ball and drop it on the lined tray, 3 to 4 inches apart from each other Shape into a round circle with a spoon and then gently press the meat into a flat 3 to 4-inch patty. Press the middle of the patty with your thumb or back of a spoon, this will allow the patty surface to cook flat and not puff up.
  • Lightly spray over the burgers and cook in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. No need to turn halfway over.
  • To cook on grill
  • Preheat the grill at 375 degrees. Line the grill with aluminuim foil and spray oil over.
  • Place the ground chicken mix on the foil with 3 to 4-inch space around each patty. Shape into a round circle with a spoon and then gently press the meat into a flat 3 to 4-inch patty. Press the middle of the patty with your thumb or back of a spoon. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes and then flip over and cook the other side for an additional 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Sriracha Mayo
  • To make quick homemade sriracha mayo, simply stir together mayonnaise and sriracha sauce. Add more or less sriracha depending on the level of spice you like. I usually do half mayo and half sriracha for a spicy creamy sauce.
  • Serving
  • Lightly toast the burger buns on a preheated cast iron griddle, optionally drizzling some olive oil on the cut side for extra flavor.
  • Start with a crisp lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, then place the juicy, spiced chicken patty on top.
  • Add a slice of onion and tomato, then finish with a dollop of sriracha mayo for a bold, flavorful kick.
