Instructions

For Burgers

  • Heat a sauté pan and coat it with olive oil. Add chopped onions and season with salt. Cook the onions for 5-7 minutes or until soft and translucent.
  • Now add garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes and remove from heat. Keep it aside to cool.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, BBQ sauce, cilantro, ginger, cooked (cooled down) onions and garlic mixture, cumin, paprika,red chili powder, pepper & salt (if desired).
  • Using your hands, squish and mix well. Keep it aside.
  • Heat a griddle or grilling pan, bring it to medium high heat and coat well with oil.
  • Make and cook a little tester patty to be sure the chicken is well seasoned. Reseason if desired. If you feel the patty is missing heat or salt add a dash of chili powder or salt.
  • When the burger mix is seasoned properly, make 4 equal sized patties.
  • Place the burger patties in the pan. Be sure not to over crowd the pan. You can always work in batches.
  • Cook the patties 5-6 minutes each side.

Assembling the burger

  • If using cheese, place the cheese slice or grated cheese over the patty (once it's fully cooked) and cook for another 1 minute.
  • Simultaneously, grill the buns and red onions.
  • Spread each side of the grilled bottom bun with your favorite spread, in this case avocado chutney (Mayo/ Sour cream). Place the patty with cheese. Top it with tomato & grilled onions. You can additionally top with greens (spinach/ arugula/ lettuce).
  • Close up the burger, give it a little squish and enjoy!
