We really enjoyed these burgers! We ended up using ground turkey and didn't have any issues with the burgers holding together. We put the patties together over the weekend and grilled them up during the week, so maybe the fridge time helped to hold them together. The peanut sauce was a nice touch. We like our food spicy, so next time we'll add more chili garlic paste. Served with baked sweet potato fries and sriracha ketchup. This will be joining our regular dinner rotation.
Chicken Burgers with Peanut Sauce
No recipe can offer too much flavor for Assistant Food Editor Ann Taylor Pittman. Her burger is made spicy with Thai chile paste and rounded out with a sweet, creamy Thai-style peanut sauce. Onion sprouts, which look similar to alfalfa sprouts, have a pungent bite. You can find them next to the alfalfa sprouts in many supermarkets.
