Notes
Ground Chicken Tip: Using thigh meat keeps the burgers moist and flavorful. If using breast meat, add an extra tablespoon of mayo.
Cheese Options: Cheddar adds sharpness, provolone brings melty texture, and gouda lends a smoky-sweet flavor.
Grilling Tip: If the patties are sticking, brush the grill grates with oil before cooking.
