Grilled Herbed Chicken Burgers with zesty lemon chive mayo are perfect for a backyard barbecue!
Ingredients:
  • For the lemon mayo
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)
  • For the chicken burger
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs, divided
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • To serve
  • 4 brioche buns
  • 1 ripe avocado, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced
  • 1 medium tomato, sliced
Instructions:
  • Prepare the lemon mayo: Mix together mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and chives in a small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and store until needed for burger assembly.
  • Combine ground chicken, egg, ½ cup breadcrumbs, garlic, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until well incorporated. Shape into patties and coat with the remaining ½ cup of breadcrumbs on a plate.
  • Shape the chicken patties: Divide the chicken mixture into four equal portions. Coat each portion in breadcrumbs by gently pressing it on both sides. Shape each into a 1/2-inch patty. Repeat for the remaining portions until all chicken patties are formed.
  • Prepare the grill: Heat the grill to 450-500˚F for direct grilling by setting gas burners to medium-high or arranging charcoal coals for direct under-grate heat. Prevent sticking by greasing grill grates quickly with an oiled towel or paper towels using tongs. Alternatively, use spray oil to coat grates, watching for flare-ups.
  • Grill the chicken burgers for approximately 4 minutes on each side until they reach an internal temperature of at least 165˚F. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness. Flip the burgers halfway through cooking to ensure even grilling. Look for beautiful grill marks and a firm texture to determine when they are ready. Be careful not to overcook to maintain juiciness.
  • Toast the buns: Toast the plain buns on the grill for 20 seconds, then remove.
  • Construct your burgers by layering sliced avocado on the bottom bun. Add the grilled chicken burger, then top with red onion, tomato slices, and a generous drizzle of lemon mayo. Serve promptly.
  • Store leftover chicken burgers in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave on high for 1 minute for best results.
