Cuisine: Thai
Serves: 4 burgers
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 4 hamburger buns
- 1/2 cup peanut sauce
- Optional toppings (lettuce, cucumber, etc.)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients. You will need 1 pound of ground chicken, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of curry powder, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 4 hamburger buns, and 1/2 cup of peanut sauce. Optional toppings such as lettuce and cucumber can be prepared as well.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, soy sauce, curry powder, and brown sugar. Use your hands or a spatula to mix the ingredients thoroughly until everything is well incorporated.
- Once the chicken mixture is combined, divide it into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty. Ensure that the patties are evenly sized for uniform cooking.
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, you may want to add a little oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the chicken patties on the preheated grill or skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the patties are golden brown. Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to maintain their juiciness.
- While the patties are cooking, you can toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until they are lightly golden. This step adds extra flavor and texture to your burgers.
- Once the patties are cooked through and the buns are toasted, remove them from the heat. Place each chicken patty on the bottom half of a toasted bun.
- Generously drizzle or spread the peanut sauce over each chicken patty. Use approximately 2 tablespoons of peanut sauce per burger, or adjust according to your taste preference.
- Add your desired toppings, such as fresh lettuce and sliced cucumber, on top of the peanut sauce.
- Finally, place the top half of the bun on each burger and serve immediately. Enjoy your Chicken Satay Burgers with Peanut Sauce!
Tips
- For maximum flavor, let the ground chicken mixture rest for 15-20 minutes before forming patties to allow the spices to fully integrate.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure your chicken reaches the safe internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) without overcooking.
- If you don't have a grill, a cast-iron skillet works perfectly and can help create a beautiful golden-brown crust.
- Make your own peanut sauce for an extra authentic touch—it's easier than you think and tastes far superior to store-bought versions.
- For a lighter option, serve the patties in lettuce wraps instead of buns, or over a fresh Asian-inspired salad.
- Prep your toppings and sauce in advance to make cooking day a breeze and reduce overall preparation time.
