Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground chicken (92% lean)
- 1 cup cheese cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup barbecue sauce
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 slices cheddar cheese
- 3 sandwich buns
- Lettuce, for topping
- Tomato slices, for topping
- Extra barbecue sauce, for serving
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together the ground chicken, cheese cracker crumbs, barbecue sauce, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until well combined.
- Form the mixture into 3 large burger patties.
- Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter.
- Add the patties to the skillet and cook for 8 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese and allow it to melt.
- Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a sandwich bun and topping with lettuce, tomato, and extra barbecue sauce.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
- Cracker crumbs add flavor and help bind the patties—cheddar cheese crackers work best.
- These burgers can also be grilled over medium heat if preferred.
- Customize with additional toppings like pickles, onions, or coleslaw.
