OK, I cheated a bit and didn't make burger out of the chicken, just used the boneless chicken thighs. Flavor was good and of course bacon makes everything taste better....the mayo made this stand out! Very tasty spread. I used only half a tsp of mustard but did follow the rest. Thanks for sharing! -
A delicious alternative, tastier than many chicken burgers I've tried. I crumbled a little bacon on top of each burger, which provided that bacony taste but with less fat and sodium. Also, have to admit on cheating with the mayo - just added some blue cheese to a good commercial mayo. I think the caper mayo I made earlier would also be good with this sandwich. -

Made these tonight using chicken thighs, absolutely enjoyed these, BUT I have to say the Bleu-cheese mayo, really hit the SPOT. What a delightful quick dinner tonight. Made for PRMR tag.. -
