For many of us summer has arrived, and that means it’s time for some summer grilling recipes. First I will start with this recipe for chicken burgers. I have used a few different types of meat to make burgers, mainly ground beef and turkey, but this was my first time using ground chicken. The result was fantastic; the burgers were very moist and delicious. These burgers have a teriyaki glaze and a ginger mayonnaise spread. Fans of ginger will absolutely love these burgers. The Japanese bread crumbs can be substituted for normal dry breadcrumbs if you choose. You can also add cheese to this recipe, personally I like sliced Swiss. This recipe will make 4 burgers. Enjoy.

Megan - Just add a little less bread crumbs (maybe like 1/8 of a cup less), 3/4 of a tps chili sauce, 3/4 teaspoon salt. You should be good with those adjustments!

hey bobby! so meat prices have jumped here in oregon....a ridiculous amount. I was wondering if a lb of ground chicken would do b/c that's what I bought. Do you recommend making any adjustments?
