- Portion into 4 burgers. I roll them into balls then flatten with my hands. Be sure to press a small dimple on the top with your thumb to allow even cooking.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. When preheated, spray with avocado oil and add the chipotle chicken burgers. Cook 4 minutes. After 4 minutes, flip the burgers with a spatula and cook an additional 6 minutes, covered.
Notes
- Check internal temperature: Ground chicken should reach 165°F at the thickest part of the burger. Check from the side for the most accurate reading.
- Keep burgers the same thickness: Form the burgers evenly so they cook at the same rate.
- Add a dimple before cooking: Press a small dimple in the center of each burger to help them cook evenly and prevent puffing.
- Air fryer option: These burgers can be cooked in the air fryer at 390°F for 15 minutes, no flipping required.
- Storing leftovers: Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or in the microwave until warmed through.
