Classic Chicken Burger Sliders – Great Tastes of Manitoba

Ingredients

1 lb (450 g) ground chicken
1 garlic clove, minced
1 green onion, minced
1 tsp (5 ml) dried oregano
½ lemon, juiced
½ cup (125 ml) panko crumbs (or breadcrumbs)
2 Tbsp (30 ml) mayonnaise
½ tsp (2 ml) salt
½ tsp (2 ml) pepper
8 slider buns
Toppings: cheese, lettuce, tomato, relish, pickles, mayonnaise, coleslaw, grilled vegetables.

Method

In medium bowl, add ground chicken, green onion, oregano, lemon juice, panko crumbs, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper.
Using lightly oiled hands, gently combine ingredients, making sure not to over work mixture.
Equally divide the mixture into 8 portions. Form each portion into a slider size ball and flatten into a patty.
Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Using your thumb, make a small depression in the center of each patty so they cook evenly.
Cook burgers on gas grill or in frypan on top of stove until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Depending on the temperature of your grill/element, slider burgers should take approximately 3 minutes side.
Serve on slider buns with your favourite toppings.
