Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Patty Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken with finely chopped chipotle peppers, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly but gently to combine all the ingredients without overworking the meat.
  2. Form the Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a round, flat patty about 3/4 inch thick, ensuring they hold together well for cooking.
  3. Cook the Patties: Heat a grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a light coating of oil if using a skillet. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the patties are cooked through with a slight char on the outside.
  4. Serve: Remove the burgers from heat and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Serve on toasted buns with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, and a creamy sauce for added flavor.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of chipotle peppers to control the spice level.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure patties are fully cooked and safe to eat.
  • Optional toppings include cheese, pickles, and mayonnaise for extra richness.
  • Can be served with a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
