Using the reserved 1/4 onion piece, grate half of it on the burgers. Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil on the patties. Cook patties 4 minutes on each side for medium or, until desired doneness.
  • For Chicken Fajita Burgers:

Using the rest of the 1/4 reserved onion piece, grate the other half of it on the burgers. Drizzle patties with extra-virgin olive oil and cook 6 minutes on each side or until meat is firm and cooked through.
  • Heat a medium skillet over high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil and peppers and onions. Stir-fry the veggies tossing them with tongs to sear them at edges. Add the jalapeno or serrano pepper.

Yield 6 Burgers, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 lbs ground chicken
1 tablespoon smoky paprika dried chipotle powder (Victoria Taylor's Seasonings brand)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 -4 dashes sriracha hot sauce (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Heat the bbq or grill on high.
  • Cut 6 pieces of wax paper big enough for the individual burgers to make it easier to put on the grill.
  • In a large bowl, combine all of the spices and mix. Add the ground chicken and combine just until blended, do not over mix.
  • Divide the mixture into 6 equal sized balls then place them on the square of wax paper and gently press into a patty making a dent in the centre of each one.
  • Barbeque or grill the burgers until cooked through for approximately 5 minutes on each side until meat is firm, and the internal temperature is 165°F.
