Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Asian Chicken Zucchini Burgers.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and give a baking sheet a light greasing to ensure your patties don’t stick.
Step 2
In a spacious bowl, combine the ground chicken with shredded zucchini, chopped green onions, and bread crumbs.
Step 3
Add a kick with Asian chile paste, a teaspoon of sesame oil, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, fish sauce, ground ginger, half a teaspoon of black pepper, and a sprinkle of salt.
Step 4
Mix everything together until it’s well blended and you can’t see any separate ingredients.
Step 5
Now, shape this flavorful mixture into four hearty patties and place them on your prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Slide the patties into the oven and let them bake for about 10 minutes.
Step 7
After that, gently flip them over and continue baking for another 10 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear—this is when you know they’re perfectly cooked.
Step 8
While your delicious burgers are baking, let’s whip up a zesty sauce.
Step 9
In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, chile-garlic sauce, mustard, a teaspoon of sesame oil, fresh lemon juice, and a teaspoon of pepper until it’s smooth and creamy.
Step 10
Once your burgers are ready, take those toasted hamburger buns and spread the sauce generously on the cut sides.
Step 11
Layer on some crisp lettuce, juicy tomato, and onion on one half of each bun, then place a warm burger on top.
Step 12
Cap it off with the other half of the bun, and there you have it—a mouthwatering burger that’s sure to impress! Enjoy every bite of your homemade creation!.
