🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Make the Chicken Patties
In a large bowl, mix the chicken, onion, garlic, ginger, spices, salt, breadcrumbs, and egg. Mix thoroughly until well combined. Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to help them firm up.
Step 2: Cook the Patties
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook each patty for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. For a healthier version, you can also grill them.
Step 3: Toast the Buns
Cut the burger buns in half. Lightly butter the insides and toast them on a pan until golden and crispy.
Step 4: Assemble the Burgers
Spread mayonnaise or burger sauce on the bottom bun. Layer with lettuce, a chicken patty, cheese (if using), tomato slices, onion rings, and top with ketchup or chili sauce. Cover with the top bun.
