Kimchi Chicken Burgers Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds ground chicken thigh meat
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1/4 cup diagonally sliced green onions
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 cup roughly chopped kimchi
• 2 cups thinly sliced savoy cabbage
• 3 tablespoons Sriracha or other hot sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 4 whole wheat or plain hamburger buns

Instructions

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high (400 degrees F), or get a grill pan hot over medium heat.
2. Combine chicken, ginger, garlic, half the green onions, and soy sauce.
3. Form mixture into 4 patties.
4. Rub burgers with oil.
5. Press a deep dimple into the center of each burger (this will help it stay flat while it cooks).
6. Mix kimchi, cabbage, 1 tablespoon Sriracha, vinegar, sugar, the remaining green onion, and 2 tablespoons mayonnaise together in a medium bowl; set aside.
7. In a separate bowl, mix remaining 2 tablespoons Sriracha and 2 tablespoons mayonnaise; set aside.
8. Grill burgers, covered, turning once halfway through, until cooked all the way, about 10 minutes total.
9. Assemble burgers, topping each with the slaw mixture and a dollop of the spicy mayonnaise.
