Instructions

Combine ingredients

In a large bowl, mix together ground chicken, bread crumbs, egg, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and parsley until well combined.

Pro tip: Avoid over-mixing to keep the burgers tender.

Form patties

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties about 1.5 cm (0.6 inch) thick.

Pro tip: Use a light touch to keep the patties from becoming dense.

Chill patties

Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to help them firm up.

Preheat grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 190°C (375°F).

Pro tip: Ensure the grill is clean to prevent sticking.

Grill patties

Place the chilled patties on the grill. Cook for 5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F) and the outside is golden brown.

Pro tip: Avoid pressing down on the patties to retain juiciness.

Assemble burgers

Place each patty on a toasted bun, then top with lettuce, tomato, and cheese if desired. Serve immediately.

Pro tip: Add your favourite condiments for extra flavour.
