Chicken Burgers: Juicy And Delicious

It’s been a fashion lately to substitute ground turkey or chicken for ground beef. Since poultry has less fat than chicken, often it’s substituted for health reasons.

However, ground chicken is quite delicious in its own right. It makes wonderful meatloaf and these wonderful burgers. These burgers are every bit as moist and juicy as their ground beef cousins even when they’re cooked “well done.” Since none of us eat rare chicken–which is definitely unappetizing–that was my test for these chicken burgers. And they passed the test with flying colors.

Make Them Different Each Time

As with most recipes, if you change up the herbs and spices, you make a new dish.

It’s pretty much the same with these chicken burgers. I flavored them Italian style, however, using poultry seasoning in it’s place makes them entirely different.

Since I based these off a delicious Asian meatloaf I recently made, converting that meatloaf recipe into burgers would be seamless. And the diced water chestnuts from that recipe would work wonderfully here as well.

Of course simply substituting ground turkey makes them entirely different too.

Bun Or None

These are great served on a bun. I chose nice crusty Kaiser rolls for mine. Regular old white bread hamburger buns work nicely too.

If you can get brioche buns, they’d be spectacular as would a nice artisan roll or sourdough roll.

To make it a complete meal in a bun, add some lettuce and tomatoes to each burger.

Of course if you are watching your carbs, you can eliminate the bun entirely and just serve this with a big salad. Carb-free keto breadcrumbs can be substituted for the panko crumbs too.

    Hi,
    A nice idea and it sounds tasty… I definitely intend to try it…
    But… you somehow missed to mention the ground chicken in the instructions…
    Obviously it should go with all the other ingredients…
    Thanks…

      Thanks–I miss stuff now due to growing cataracts and appreciate when someone lets me know something’s off.

    Your recipe shows the ground chicken, but when I print the recipe it does not show when to add the ground chicken. Not a big deal but I thought you might like to know.
