Tips for making chicken burgers:

1. Buy quality meat and look for ground chicken breasts (not just ground chicken). If you can’t find it already ground, ask the meat department or your butcher if they will grind breasts for you.
2. Season the meat and mix together before forming the patty
3. Cook over medium heat and leave them alone. Don’t flip them constantly.
4. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the meat is cooked through (165 degrees Fahrenheit is recommended for chicken)
