Preparation for Cilantro Lime Chicken Burgers
- Place the ground chicken in a large basin designed for mixing. The yellow onion should next be shredded using a box grater and placed on top of the chicken.
- Include chopped cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, garlic powder, dried red chili flakes, as well as salt and pepper in the recipe.
- Hand-mix everything gently, then shape into 5 patties of similar size.
- Stovetop: Warm up two tablespoons of olive oil in a pan that doesn’t stick on medium heat. When the pan is hot, place the patties in it and cook them for six to seven minutes on the first side. Flip.
- Cook for a further 6–7 minutes on the other side. Or until the temperature reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit on the inside.
- When grilling, start by cleaning the grill and then heating it to medium-high, between 375 and 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Be careful to lubricate your grill by either spraying it with oil or soaking paper towels in oil and spreading the mixture over the grill.
- Place the chicken patties on the hot grill, cover it, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until grill marks form. Turn the burgers over carefully and continue cooking them for another 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Put your burgers together on a toasted bun that has been buttered, and then top them with guacamole, tomato, lettuce, red onion, or any other toppings you choose.
