Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken Teriyaki Burgers
- 1 lb. ground chicken
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil (for frying)
- 4 brioche buns
- 1/4 cup yum yum sauce (or mayo, sriracha, chili crisp, or preferred sauce)
For the Sesame Slaw
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
Instructions
- Make the Sesame Slaw: In a medium bowl, toss together shredded cabbage, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and chopped green onions if using. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Set aside.
- Make the Burgers: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, teriyaki sauce, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly with clean hands until well combined. Form the mixture into 4 evenly sized large patties.
- Fry the Burgers: Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken patties and cook for 3 to 5 minutes on one side until they are golden and mostly cooked through. Flip the patties and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until cooked through completely, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and there is no pink inside.
- Toast Buns: Remove any burnt bits from the skillet, then place the brioche buns cut side down in the skillet over medium-low heat. Toast briefly until they are lightly browned and warm.
- Assemble Burgers: Spread yum yum sauce on the top and bottom buns. Place a cooked chicken teriyaki patty on each bottom bun, then top with a generous amount of sesame slaw. Cover with the top bun, press lightly, slice if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your flavorful and juicy burgers!
Notes
- Make sure to cook chicken patties thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
- You can substitute the yum yum sauce with any favorite spicy or creamy sauce like sriracha mayo or chili crisp.
- Feel free to add sliced avocado or pickled vegetables for extra flavor.
- To keep the slaw crispy, add the dressing just before serving if preparing ahead.
- Use fresh brioche buns for best texture and taste.
