Homemade Chicken Burger Recipe 2025

by

A chicken burger is a juicy, flavorful alternative to the classic beef burger. Here’s how you can make a delicious chicken burger from scratch at home.

Ingredients:

For the Chicken Patty:

  • 500g ground chicken
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or mixed herbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for spice)
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (for binding)
  • 1 egg

For Assembly:

  • 4 burger buns
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Sliced onions
  • Sliced pickles (optional)
  • Cheese slices (optional)
  • Mayonnaise, ketchup, or mustard (for spreading)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Patty

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped onion, minced garlic, paprika, black pepper, salt, oregano, cayenne pepper (if using), breadcrumbs, and the egg. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into round patties, about the size of your burger buns.

Step 2: Cook the Patties

  1. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.
  2. Place the chicken patties on the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
  3. If using cheese slices, place them on the patties during the last minute of cooking and cover the pan to let the cheese melt.

Step 3: Toast the Buns

  1. Cut the burger buns in half and lightly toast them on a dry skillet or grill for 1-2 minutes.

Step 4: Assemble the Burger

  1. Spread mayonnaise, ketchup, or mustard on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
  2. Layer lettuce, a chicken patty, sliced tomatoes, onions, and pickles as desired.
  3. Cover with the top half of the bun.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Serve the chicken burgers immediately with a side of fries, salad, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips for a Perfect Chicken Burger:

  • You can add flavor variations by incorporating chopped herbs or grated cheese into the patty mixture.
  • For a healthier option, use whole-grain buns and bake the patties instead of frying.
  • Add a fried egg or avocado slices for extra richness.

Enjoy your homemade chicken burger—a perfect treat for any meal!
