Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Thai
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 2 tbsp red curry paste
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- Salt to taste
- 4 burger buns
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, red curry paste, chopped cilantro, chopped green onions, fish sauce, and salt. Mix thoroughly using your hands until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Divide the chicken mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty, ensuring they are approximately 1/2 inch thick. Create a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.
- Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the cooking surface to prevent sticking.
- Place the chicken patties on the hot grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on the first side, or until the bottom is golden brown and develops nice grill marks.
- Carefully flip the patties and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) to ensure the chicken is fully cooked.
- While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until they are golden and crisp.
- Remove the chicken patties from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Place each burger patty on a toasted bun and serve immediately. Optional: Garnish with extra cilantro, green onions, or a drizzle of additional red curry paste for extra flavor.
Tips
- Mixing Technique: When combining the ingredients, use your hands to ensure everything is well incorporated. This helps the flavors meld together beautifully.
- Patty Thickness: Make sure your patties are about 1/2 inch thick for even cooking. The indentation in the center will prevent them from puffing up on the grill.
- Temperature Check: Use a meat thermometer to check that your chicken patties reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- Grilling Surface: Preheating your grill pan or outdoor grill is crucial. A hot cooking surface will give you those beautiful grill marks and a nice sear.
- Bun Toasting: Toasting the burger buns not only adds texture but also enhances the overall flavor. A little crispy edge makes a big difference!
- Garnishing: Don’t hold back on the garnishes! Fresh cilantro, green onions, or a drizzle of extra red curry paste can elevate your burger to gourmet status.
- Resting Time: Allow the patties to rest for a few minutes after cooking. This step ensures that the juices redistribute, keeping your burgers moist and flavorful.Enjoy your culinary journey with these delightful Thai Chicken Burgers!
