They’re also very flexible when it comes time to enjoy them as well! You can enjoy these patties in a burger as they’re intended to be eaten, but there are also plenty of other options.

Ingredients for Chicken Patties

• Ground Chicken – You can tell if ground chicken has gone bad by its appearance. If the chicken appears dull in color or slimy in texture, do not use it for these burgers!
• Egg – For best results, use a free range organic egg.
• Bread Crumbs – Traditional bread crumbs are best to use in this recipe, but panko can be substituted in a pinch.
• Garlic – A touch of garlic in these patties gives them more depth in their flavor. Be sure to finely mince the garlic so there aren’t any large chunks.
• Yellow Onion – Yellow onions tend to be sweeter than red or white ones, making them perfect for these chicken patties.
• Dijon Mustard – This ingredient provides both sweetness and tanginess to the burgers that’s truly mouthwatering.
• Mayonnaise – You can use a full fat or low fat mayonnaise. Either one will work!
• Parsley – Use finely minced fresh parsley, not dried parsley for the best flavor.
• Salt – Just a dash of coarse sea salt is needed to help enhance the other ingredients.
• Black Pepper – Use freshly ground black pepper for the most noticeable flavor.

For Creamy Sauce:

• Mayonnaise – Make sure the mayonnaise you’re using doesn’t have any other added flavors like olive oil.
• Dijon Mustard – This sweet and tangy complex condiment cannot be substituted with yellow mustard.
• Honey – For a honey flavor that really has depth, use a dark organic honey, not the light yellow honey that comes in the plastic bear!
• Lemon Juice – Freshly squeezed lemon juice will yield much fresher results than the bottled juice that’s full of preservatives and artificial flavors.
• Salt and Pepper
