Ingredients

For the Patty:

  • 1 pound Ground Chicken (97/3)
  • 1 Tablespoon (16g) Olive Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt

For the Sauce

  • 2 Tablespoons (30g) Hot Sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons (30g) Water
  • 1 Tablespoon (12g) Dark Brown Sugar

Buns and Toppings

  • 4 Potato Rolls (or your choice of buns)
  • Pickle Slices
Method
  1. Lightly toast your buns in a skillet and set aside.
  2. Mix the sauce ingredients together and set aside.
  3. Mix the dry spices together in a small bowl. Season both sides of the ground chicken with the spice blend before dividing into 4 pieces, weighing about 4 oz each.
  4. Gently work the spices into the chicken while forming burger patties slightly larger than your buns.
  5. Heat a large skillet over medium heat before adding the olive oil.
  6. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken burgers to the skillet (spices will create a strong aroma) and cook for 2-3 minutes until nicely browned. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until both sides are browned.
  7. Pour the sauce in the skillet around the burgers. As it thickens, flip the burgers, coating them in the sauce. Continue cooking until the burgers are cooked through
  8. Serve on the toasted buns with pickles. *Optional: Top with cheese (just adjust your macros)
