Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1/2 onion chopped
- 1/3 cup scallions chopped
- 2 carrots peeled and chopped
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup hot sauce I like Frank's
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a food processor food processor combine carrots, onion and scallion; pulse to chop into small bits.
- In a large bowl combine the vegetable mixture, ground chicken, egg, garlic powder, hot sauce, and salt and peppers.
- Form into 4 patties and bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Turn on broiler to high and broil for 2 minutes.
- Serve hot with buns, lettuce, etc., or in lettuce wraps with any toppings you'd like!
Notes
- Don't over-mix the meat. Over-mixing meat can cause it to become tough and dry. For the best texture, mix only until just combined!
- Flip the burgers halfway through. After 10 minutes of baking, make sure you flip the burgers over so they cook evenly and on both sides.
- Check the temp. To make sure the chicken is at a safe temperature, I recommend checking the temperature with a meat thermometer. It should be 165ºF.
