Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground chicken
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated (for mayo)
- 1 tsp Lime juice
- 4 Brioche buns
- 4 leaves Leaf lettuce
- 0.5 Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 Cucumber, thinly sliced
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, panko breadcrumbs, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, chopped green onions, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined, but avoid overmixing.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape into burger patties, roughly 1/2 inch thick. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for 10 minutes to help them firm up.
While the patties chill, prepare the ginger mayonnaise. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, grated ginger, and lime juice. Cover and set aside.
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or pan to prevent sticking.
Cook the chicken patties for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Avoid pressing down on the patties with a spatula to retain their juiciness.
While the patties cook, toast the brioche buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly golden-brown.
Assemble the burgers by spreading a generous layer of ginger mayonnaise on the bottom halves of the toasted buns. Add a leaf of lettuce, a chicken patty, a few slices of red onion, and cucumber on top.
Place the top halves of the buns onto the assembled burgers and serve immediately. Enjoy with a side of your favorite Asian-inspired salad or crispy fries!
