Chicken Burger

Homemade burgers are better than store bought. At least you know what is inside your burger.  I made some chicken burgers for WB.   Made a dozen and stored them in air tight container in the freezer. Whenever he is hungry, he can just take out one and pan fried it himself and make a sandwich with the oh so delicious homemade burger :)   They are easy to make and you can add any flavors you like.   I  like to add fresh italian parsley , ground black pepper , onions and chilli flakes to the chicken burger.  Breadcrumbs is a must...it helps bind the mixture together and at the same time retains moisture in the mix.  I used chicken tenders to make these delectable and moist burgers.  I am not much of a meat eater but  WB  is , and he loves homemade ones. 

I packed them in air tight containers , place plastic in between each piece

so that the burgers doesn't stick together when frozen 

I minced the chicken tender coarsely so that WB can feel 

the texture of the chicken as he bites into the burger

pan fried the burger with a tsp of butter on a non-stick pan

and brush on bbq sauce when the burger is cooked and

ready to dish up. Serve with homemade bread ...yummy!
