Notes

  • The nutrition information above does not include the buns or toppings. 
  • You can shape the chicken patties a day in advance, and store them in the fridge. When you’re ready to serve, let the burgers come to room temperature, and cook as normal.  
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Keep the sauce in a separate airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Freeze cooked ground chicken burgers for 2-3 months. I recommend storing them with a piece of parchment paper between each patty to prevent them from clumping together.
