This Juicy Chicken Burger Recipe uses simple pantry staples and fresh vegetables to create soft, moist chicken patties that stay juicy even after frying. Whether you’re making it for kids, guests, or a casual weekend meal, this burger never disappoints.

Ingredients

For the Chicken Patty

  • Chicken mince – 500 g

  • Onion – 1 small or ½ medium, finely chopped

  • Capsicum – ½, finely chopped

  • Black olives – sliced (optional but adds great flavor)

  • Salt – ¾ tsp or to taste

  • Chili sauce – 2 tbsp (adjust according to spice preference)

  • Garlic powder – 1 tsp

  • Breadcrumbs – 3–4 tbsp

For Assembling the Burger

  • Burger buns

  • Mayonnaise

  • Ketchup

  • Cheese slices

  • Tomato – sliced

  • Pickled jalapeños

  • Lettuce leaves

Preparation Method

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, add the chicken mince, finely chopped onion, capsicum, black olives, salt, chili sauce, garlic powder, and breadcrumbs. Mix everything well using clean hands or a spoon until all ingredients are evenly combined.

The breadcrumbs help absorb excess moisture from the chicken mince, ensuring that the patties hold their shape and remain juicy after cooking.

Step 2: Rest the Mixture

Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes. This resting time is very important as it allows the breadcrumbs to soak up moisture and helps the flavors blend beautifully.

Step 3: Shape and Cook the Patties

Lightly grease your hands with oil and shape the mixture into thick, even patties. Heat a pan with a small amount of oil over medium heat and shallow fry the patties until they are golden brown on both sides and fully cooked from the inside.

Once cooked, reduce the flame to low and place a cheese slice on top of each patty. Cover the pan and let it cook for 2–3 minutes until the cheese melts perfectly over the patty. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assembling the Burger

Step 4: Prepare the Buns

Preheat the oven’s upper rod (broiler mode). Slice the burger buns in half. Lightly toast them if desired for extra crunch.

Step 5: Build the Layers

On the bottom bun, apply a generous layer of ketchup. Add tomato slices followed by pickled jalapeños. Place the cheesy chicken patty on top and add fresh lettuce leaves for crunch.

Apply mayonnaise on the top bun and place it over the burger.

Step 6: Final Heating

Place the assembled burgers in the oven for 1–2 minutes. This step helps make the buns slightly crispy while keeping the inside warm and juicy.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the burgers immediately while hot. These juicy chicken burgers pair perfectly with:

  • French fries or potato wedges

  • Coleslaw

  • Crispy onion rings

  • A chilled soft drink or lemonade

Tips for Best Results

  • Do not overmix the chicken mixture; this keeps the patties soft

  • Always rest the mixture before shaping

  • Cook patties on medium heat to avoid dryness

  • Customize sauces according to your taste

This Juicy Chicken Burger Recipe is a must-try for anyone who loves easy, homemade comfort food. It’s flavorful, soft, and guaranteed to become a family favorite. Once you try it, you’ll never feel the need to order burgers from outside again.
