Description

Juicy chicken teriyaki burgers topped with a creamy sesame slaw and nestled in soft toasted brioche buns. A perfect blend of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors in every bite.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (plus 1 tablespoon reserved)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 cup red cabbage, shredded
  • 1/2 cup carrots, shredded
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 4 brioche buns, toasted
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and lightly oil the surface.
  2. In a bowl, mix ground chicken, soy sauce (reserve 1 tablespoon), garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and green onions.
  3. In another bowl, mix shredded cabbage, carrots, mayo, rice vinegar, and a pinch of salt to make the slaw. Let it sit.
  4. Shape the chicken mixture into 4 even patties.
  5. Toast the brioche buns until golden and set aside.
  6. Cook the patties in the hot skillet for 4–5 minutes per side until cooked through.
  7. In a small saucepan, combine the reserved soy sauce with brown sugar and simmer until thickened. Brush over patties during the last minute of cooking.
  8. Assemble burgers with a patty, a generous heap of slaw, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds on each bun.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use ground chicken with some fat for juicier patties.
  • Let the slaw rest to develop flavor before assembling.
  • Toast buns for better texture and taste.
  • Double the teriyaki sauce if you love extra glaze.
