Spicy Chicken Burgar

Spicy Chicken Burgar - Juicy, spicy, flavorful chicken burgers made with chipotle peppers in adobe sauce inside and served with melted cheese, lettuce, and chipotle mayo. Wonderful for weekend barbecuing or a weeknight dinner.

I adore chicken burgers! As much as I love a good, juicy beef burger, there is something fabulous about a chicken burger. It’s always juicy and soft. I found it pretty hard to make a chicken burger dry. Yes, I have had experiences where I totally messed up a beef burger and it came out dry, dry, dry, but I’ve always had great luck with chicken burgers.

This weekend, I decided to make myself some spicy chicken burgers. Hubs is so not into spicy foods but I am all over some heat. I definitely can’t take some serious heat, I’m just talking about some heat but at the point where I can still taste my food. I don’t like spice to completely numb by tongue and having to run to the fridge for some milk. That could be a bit too much.

That’s why I love adding some cayenne pepper or some red pepper flakes to my dishes. I also like adding jalapenos and chipotle peppers for an extra kick. I’d never go crazy like adding a ghost pepper or anything, but jalapenos and may be serrano (may be) can add a nice amount of spice. I’m also totally obsessed with a smokey flavor of chipotle peppers.

I have to confess, I did not know that chipotle peppers were smoke-dried jalapeno peppers. Up until only a few weeks ago, I thought it was a whole different pepper in it’s own. Turns out, it’s just a jalapeno ( at least it’s usually made with out of jalapenos). You live and you learn! Either way, I’m addicted to the smokey flavor it adds to my dishes.

So while I was grilling and tryign out new recipes the other day, I decided to make myself a delicious spicy chicken burger. I paked it with some chipotle peppers in adobe sauce inside and added chipotle mayo to it as well. Turned out fantastic!

These burgers do not actually need to be made on a grill. You can just as easily make them on stove-top. So if you don’t feel like breaking out a grill and starting coals, simply make them in a pan. It’s a 30 minute dinner with a delicious kick.
