Spicy Chicken Burgers

Here's a way to spice up a summer favourite - burgers!

600 g ground chicken
1 tbsp Jaswant’s Kitchen Tadka Masala
¼ tsp Jaswants Kitchen Garam Masala
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp mango powder (optional)
1 tbsp canola oil
2 tsp garlic paste (or minced)
2 tbsp ginger paste (or minced)
½ tsp hot green or Thai chili - minced (or more to taste)
½ cup green onion (chopped)
½ cup coriander (chopped)
½ cup bread crumbs (panko)
1 tsp black pepper (freshly ground, slightly coarse)
1 tsp salt (or to taste)

Mix all ingredients together well and form evenly sized burgers*. Preheat BBQ on high heat until hot. Rub cooking grates with oil. Turn off one set of burners and cook burgers on indirect heat** until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Serve on a bun with your favourite burger toppings.

* If you prefer, you can form the meat into kebabs and serve in a pita with your favourite toppings.

** Turn off the set of burners where you are cooking the burgers and keep remaining burners on high

Makes 4 large burgers or 12 sliders

Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 15 min (depending on thickness of burgers)

Fantastic!

I made these with beef (regular grind) and formed them into keftas on skewers. It was pretty rainy out so I cooked them in the oven on a broiler pan and they came out beautifully. Tried them again, this time on the barbecue, and they were outstanding. It may be helpful to chill the patties/skewers once formed so that they retain their shape and don't break when cooking.
Great recipe!

Fantastic flavour!

These are the best chicken burgers I ever made. So full of flavour! Ate them with the red lentil daal. Both recipes are hits with my family.

Awesome comfort food for a Friday night!

I love cooking home made chicken burgers, mainly because I know what’s in them - so this receipe was a must try. It was absolutely delicious, and hit the spot on a Friday night after a tough week. Who needs processed take out when it’s this easy to cook up great food at home!

Chicken Meatballs

I make these into turkey or chicken meatballs, freeze and pop them into soups in the winter time. I added that curry flavor and are delicious and sooo easy to make.

Delicious!

These are a delicious alternative to standard beef beef burgers with lots of flavour. Made these especially for some people that don't eat beef with a couple of extra for the beef eating guests to sample. Based on the comments, we should have just made a whole batch of these instead! You don't even need many toppings, but a chutney doesn't hurt.
