Gather Your Ingredients!
First things first, before you embark on this culinary adventure, you’ll need to assemble a charming cast of characters, aka ingredients, that will join the burger fun:
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 cup cooked bacon, chopped
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
- 1/4 cup BBQ sauce (plus more for slathering)
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 hamburger buns
- Lettuce, for serving
- Slices of your favorite cheese (optional)
Instructions: Let’s Get Cookin’!
Now that you’ve got all your ingredients in front of you, it’s time to channel your inner chef and get cookin’:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped bacon, diced pineapple, BBQ sauce, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined. Don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty!
- Shape the mixture into patties – how big you make them is entirely up to you, but remember, they will shrink a bit when grilled.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once it’s hot and ready, it’s time to toss those flavorful patties on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until the chicken is perfectly cooked through. If you’re throwing cheese on top, add it in the last minute or so to let it melt nicely!
- While the burgers are grilling away, you can toast the buns if that’s your jam. A little crispiness never hurt anybody!
- When the burgers are done, slather them generously with BBQ mayo (made by mixing BBQ sauce and mayo together) and add lettuce for that extra crunch.
- Build your burger like a true architect: place the patty on the bun, add more BBQ sauce if you want, top with the other half of the bun … and voila! You’ve created a masterpiece! Enjoy your delicious creation!
