Eat Mor Chikn {Sweet Chili BBQ Chicken Burgers with homemade sauce}



I had some ground chicken I had picked up to make chili with but REALLY felt like grilling because because it's been sooooo nice out and so I quested a chicken burger recipe on the web and found a yummy looking one at the Dainty Chef and got busy with a loose adaptation. The burgers came out very moist and the sauce had an awesome tang.

Sweet Chili BBQ Chicken Burgers
WHAT YOU NEED:
For the BBQ sauce:
1 cup POMI strained tomatoes
1/4 cup agave syrup or honey
2 TBSP onion powder
4 TBSP Worcestershire sauce
2 TBSP Dijon mustard
4 TBSP Sweet Chili Sauce
I prefer Iron Chef Panko
because it's made from Wheat &
Evaporated Cane Juice :)
For the burgers:
1 lb ground chicken
1/2 cup panko
2 scallions, chopped
1 TBSP paprika
1 TBSP garlic powder
1 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp evap. cane juice or sugar
5 tbsp BBQ sauce {see above}


WHAT YOU DO:
Rub your grill with oil or spray with nonstick then preheat on high.
For the BBQ sauce:  
I mixed everything together over low heat for 10 minutes stirring occasionally while I gathered and chopped all my burger ingredients.
For the burgers:
Mix everything together and form into patties. This recipe is for 4 burgers... I doubled it and made 8 {and we had leftovers for lunch}.  
Place them on your preheated drill and reduce the heat to medium high.  Cook for 4 minutes on first side then flip {on a new hot spot if possible} and reduce heat to low, close grill cover and cook for 10 minutes.


Crack open beer & serve with extra sauce drizzled on top. Perfection.

  3. I love the idea of adding a little chili sauce into the mix - I usually go for a more traditional ketchup based sauced, but this sounds really good!

  8. I haven't tried a chicken burger yet but I make meatballs with ground chicken breast all the time and they're delicious...not to mention way healthier than beef.
