Best Ever Chicken Burger
- Replies 5
I'm going to post a few of my familes favourite burghers. Starting with this Chicken Burger.
We use a number of buns.
Plain hamburger buns
Brioche buns
Milk buns.
They all work fine for any off the burgers.
If you don't use all buns then place in a ziplock bag and freeze.

Ingredients
SEASONING:
- 1/3 cup /80g flour (any white)
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¾ tsp paprika
- 1 tsp thyme
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
BURGERS:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 large onions , halved them then sliced thin , any colour onion
- 400 - 500g chicken breast (2 pieces) , cut in half horizontally into 2 thin steaks so you end up with 4 pieces
- 4 – 8 slices burger cheese or melting cheese slices
- 4 soft rolls (I used brioche burger buns)
- 1 avocado optional
- Lettuce
- 2 large tomatoes
GARLIC MAYO:
- ½ cup mayonnaise (I use whole egg)
- 1 large garlic clove , minced
Instructions
- Mix Garlic Mayo ingredients in a small bowl, set aside for 20+ minutes.
- Mix Seasoning in a flat bowl / dish.
- If required, pound chicken to about 1 cm / 2/5” thick. If wanting to be exact, trim to shape of rolls BUT ensure it is about 15% larger (it shrinks)
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over high heat (if doing on BBQ, drizzle flat plate).
- Add onion and cook, turning regularly, for 5 minutes until golden. Season with salt and pepper, toss, then remove.
- While cooking the onions, preheat oven to 160C 140°C fan-forced. Split rolls, then lightly toast / warm the rolls Leave in turned off oven with door ajar while you cook chicken.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil into the same skillet, still on high heat.
- Dredge chicken in Seasoning, shake off excess, then place in skillet. Repeat.
- Cook for 2 ½ minutes until golden, then flip.
- Top with cheese then leave for 1 1/2 minutes. When the underside is golden, if the cheese is not yet melted, place lid on for 15 seconds (or tray or foil).
- Remove chicken from skillet onto plate. Cover loosely with foil while you start assembling the burgers.
BURGERS:
- Smear base of roll with avocado, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with chicken, onion, lettuce then tomato.
- Smear lid of roll with Garlic Mayo, place on burger. Enjoy!
