Notes
The Secret to Perfect Chicken Burgers
Chicken burgers can sometimes turn out dry, but not this one. Here’s how to keep them juicy and flavorful:
Don’t overmix
Mixing too much can make the patties dense.
Use enough moisture
The buffalo sauce and egg help keep the chicken tender.
Cook at medium heat
Too high heat can dry out the chicken before it cooks through.
Rest briefly before serving
This helps the juices settle inside the patty.
