What cut of chicken is best for burgers?
Chicken breast – I recommend boneless, skinless breast fillets for their larger size, which is perfect for burgers. The chicken breasts are sliced in half, pounded and marinated in a buttermilk mixture to tenderise before cooking. I recommend using fresh chicken rather than frozen/thawed.
Can a chicken burger be a burger?
Some establishments serving hamburgers also serve chicken sandwiches, giving customers an alternative to beef. Such a sandwich may also be called “chicken on a bun” or “chicken burger” in many countries, and is served on a hamburger bun with similar condiments and toppings as found on hamburgers.
