Bacon Chicken Burger
Serves 4
For The Patties:
1lb chicken meat ground or finely chopped
4 slices smoked bacon, rind removed and finely chopped
1 half onion finely chopped
4 pinches paprika powder
a little pepper, fresh ground is better
a little salt, less or none if the bacon is salty
1 hand fresh bread crumbs
1 egg lightly whisked
1 quarter chicken stock block dissolved in a quarter cup water
For the Rolls:
4 rolls sliced
Tomato thinly sliced
Onion
Lettuce
a few slices of gherkin
Mayonnaise
Mix all the patty ingredients thoroughly, leaving the salt for after the patties are cooked if you prefer. Make sure the mixture is cool. Divide mixture into equal balls and press into patties. Cook on low heat under the grill, on the barbecue or in the pan until cooked through or the internal temp reaches 175F/80C. Split the rolls and toast the cut surfaces lightly (under grill, on barbecue or in pan) just before the patties are done. Spread a little mayonnaise on the bottom half of the roll, add a thin slice of onion, some lettuce, sliced tomato and a little sliced gherkin. Top it off with a little mayo, the patty and the other half of the roll.
