How to Make Peanut Chicken Burgers

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground chicken, 1/2 cup crushed peanuts, 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Mix thoroughly.
  2. Gently form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Carefully place the chicken patties on the preheated grill.
  5. The patties will initially be somewhat loose; this is normal.
  6. Cook for 5-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Cooking time will depend on patty thickness.
  7. Remove the burgers from the grill and loosely tent with foil to allow them to rest for 5 minutes. This helps retain juiciness.
  8. Serve immediately on toasted buns with your favorite toppings such as Asian slaw, peanut sauce, or sweet chili sauce.
