Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • Optional toppings: lettuce leaves sliced tomato, sliced red onion, pickles, mustard, mayonnaise

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, panko breadcrumbs, beaten egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to thoroughly blend all the ingredients until they are mixed well.
  • Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
  • Preheat a grill over medium high heat and oil the grill grates so that the patties don't stick to the grill.
  • Add the chicken patties to the grill on direct heat and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
  • Remove the patties from the grill and let them rest on a plate for a couple of minutes.
  • Toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill.
  • Assemble the burgers by placing a chicken patty on the bottom half of each bun, and topping it with your choice of lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles, mustard, and/or mayonnaise. Place the top half of the bun on the burger and serve immediately.

Notes

Ground chicken is softer and stickier than beef. Lightly oiling your hands before forming the patties can make the process easier and prevent sticking.
Make sure the panko breadcrumbs are finely crushed if they are too coarse. This helps them mix into the chicken mixture better, providing a smoother texture for the patties.
Mix the ingredients just until combined. Over mixing can make the patties tough once cooked.
