Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 egg (optional, for binding)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • Meat thermometer
  • Grill or nonstick skillet
  • Cooking brush

Method
 

  1. Start by combining ground chicken, chopped onion, garlic, egg (if using), salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano in a mixing bowl.
  2. Use clean hands to blend everything thoroughly, ensuring the mixture is slightly sticky but firm.
  3. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty, aiming for a thickness of about 3/4 inch.
  4. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat and brush it with olive oil.
  5. Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook undisturbed for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
  6. Let the patties rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

If you're out of ground chicken, you can substitute with ground turkey.
For an egg-free option, skip the egg; the patties will still hold together well.
Enhance flavor by using fresh herbs instead of dried, or try different spices like chili powder for a kick.
Let leftovers cool completely before storing in an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to three days or freeze individually for up to three months.
Experiment with toppings like avocado, caramelized onions, or spicy aioli to elevate your patties.
