Juicy burgers and grilled chicken sandwiches join forces with this white-meat patty. Don’t leave the page, hamburger lovers — ground chicken breast, though fairly lean and mildtasting, is wonderfully moist, tender, and delicious when seasoned and grilled to perfection.
Ingredients
FOR THE MAYONNAISE, BLEND:
FOR THE BURGERS, SEASON:
FOR THE ONIONS, BRUSH:
TOAST:
Let the adobo mayonnaise sit for at least 30 minutes before serving so the flavors can develop, or make it up to 2 days ahead.
Instructions
For the mayonnaise, blend mayonnaise, sugar, chipotle, adobo sauce, and lime juice in a small bowl; set aside.
Preheat grill to medium-high. Brush grill grate with oil.
For the burgers, season chicken with salt and pepper in a mixing bowl, combining gently with your hands. Shape into four ¾-inch-thick patties. Coat patties with nonstick spray and grill, covered, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into centers registers 165°, 4–5 minutes per side. Top burgers with cheese after flipping to melt.
For the onions, brush onions with barbecue sauce and grill, covered, until soft, 8–10 minutes, turning often and brushing with additional sauce.
Toast buns on the grill, covered, during the last minute of grilling. Serve burgers on buns with adobo mayonnaise and onions.
Mince a chipotle chile and stir it into mayonnaise along with sugar, adobo sauce, and lime juice.
Frequently flip the onion slices while grilling, brushing both sides with additional sauce.
