Spicy Gluten-free Chicken Burger
Juicy, flavor-packed chicken burger recipe with a kick of heat.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 4 cloves finely diced garlic
- 1/4 cup very finely diced jalapeños jarred, pickled or fresh
- 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tbsp tapioca flour or arrowroot flour/starch
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and gently mix until just combined.
- Take 1/4 of the mixture into your hand (wet your hands with a little oil to prevent sticking) and form into a patty shape. Use your thumb to indent the middle of each patty. This ensures even cooking.
- If using outside grill, heat it on medium high heat. Place meat patties on the grill for about 5 minutes until it releases easily from the grill to flip. Grill the other side for about 3-4 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.If cooking indoors, heat a cast iron skillet to medium heat with 1 tablespoon of avocado oil. Once the oil is hot add patties (don't overcrowd!) to the skillet. Once browned on one side (about 6-8 minutes), flip until cooked through to 165 degrees.
- Top with any topping/sauce you like and ENJOY!(I love mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, more jalepenos and sliced cheddar cheese on top)
Notes
Storage: Store cooled chicken patties in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. To reheat I love using an air fryer for 3 minutes per side so they are crispy!
Gluten-free buns: I love Schär brand gluten-free buns! They are pillowy and so delicious. I also love using butter lettuce to wrap my burger in for a lighter lunch/dinner.
