These burgers were good, but I found them to be a bit bland. I think I would add more seasoning next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the burgers were a bit dry. I think I would add more mayonnaise or avocado next time.

I'm not usually a fan of chicken burgers, but these were really good. The avocado and lime crema added a nice touch.
