Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make a chicken burger? Prepare the necessary ingredients. I advise you to cook the minced chicken yourself by grinding pieces of chicken fillet in a blender or in a meat grinder. Separate the lettuce leaves from the stem, wash and shake off the water.
Step 2:
Cut the burger buns in half lengthwise. Buns can be used from wheat flour or rye-wheat, with or without sesame sprinkling. My buns are small in diameter and weigh 65 g each. If you have large buns (100 g each), then this amount of minced meat is enough for 3-4 burgers.
Step 3:
Wash the tomato and cut it into not very thick circles.
Step 4:
Peel the onion and cut it into thin rings.
Step 5:
Shake the cucumber from the brine and also cut into circles.
Step 6:
Salt and pepper the minced chicken and knead it thoroughly with your hands. Divide the minced meat into 5 equal parts and form 5 round identical cutlets. It is advisable to make the cutlets not very thick, so that the overall height of the burger is convenient for consumption.
Step 7:
Roll the cutlets on both sides in breadcrumbs.
Step 8:
Then fry in vegetable oil on both sides until cooked and golden brown. It should be borne in mind that during frying, the cutlets are slightly compressed in size and compacted, so it is better to initially form it a little larger than the diameter of the bun.
Step 9:
Collect the burgers. Put 1-2 lettuce leaves on the bottom of the burger buns. Place the red onion rings on top. Put the chicken cutlet on the onion. Spread the circles of tomatoes and pickled cucumbers on top. Cover with another lettuce leaf and the top half of the bun.
Step 10:
Homemade chicken burgers are ready. Enjoy your meal!
Choose juicy tomatoes, but dense. Soft fruits do not keep their shape well, in the process of slicing and cooking they will spread into a shapeless mass and spoil the appearance of the dish.
For this recipe, it is better to take not frozen, but fresh meat, otherwise the finished meat risks getting dry.
If desired, you can warm up the bun in a frying pan, and to make the burger juicier, you can smear the top and bottom of the buns with tomato ketchup.
