Juicy Butter Chicken Burgers Recipe

Torn between butter chicken and burgers tonight? Why not have both at the same time? Be sure to use thick curry paste (not sauce) to keep the butter chicken burgers moist but not sloppy. Serve them in kaiser rolls and top with plain Greek yogurt, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and lettuce leaves.

I kid you not; these butter chicken burgers are so flavourful! The combination of flavours complements each other, and I was also surprised. Here’s the savoury recipe you must try using your ground chicken.

Burger Ingredients

• 2 cloves garlic - minced
• ¼ cup bread crumbs - dried
•  
  2 tablespoons butter chicken curry paste
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons ginger - grated
• ¾ teaspoon garam masala
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 pound ground chicken (minced chicken)

Cucumber Yogurt Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon sugar (white sugar) - granulated

Instructions

 

Burger Instructions

• In a bowl, stir together egg, garlic, bread crumbs, curry paste, lemon juice, ginger, garam masala, salt and pepper; mix in chicken until combined.
• Divide mixture into quarters; gently press to form 4 patties with wet hands.
• Place the patties on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning once until an instant-read thermometer inserted sideways into patties read 165 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 to 12 minutes.

Cucumber Yogurt Instructions

• Combine all ingredients in a bowl, and let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
• Gentle Flipping: Chicken, turkey and fish burgers can all be more delicate and crumbly than beef and pork burgers. To flip them on the grill without breaking them, use one spatula over and one spatula under to support each patty as you turn it.
