Prepare the Chicken Mixture:
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, minced onions, parsley, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined — do not overmix. -
Form the Patties:
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties. Place on a plate and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm up. -
Heat the Pan:
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. -
Cook the Patties:
Add the patties to the skillet and cook for 5–6 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and burgers are golden brown. -
Toast the Buns (Optional):
Toast hamburger buns lightly in the same pan or on a grill for extra texture and flavor. -
Assemble and Serve:
Place patties on buns and top with lettuce, tomato, and red onion. Add your favorite condiments like mayo, mustard, or hot sauce.
Notes
Ground chicken is delicate — chill the patties before cooking to help them hold together.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure doneness.
Avocado oil has a high smoke point, making it ideal for searing burgers.
Customize with cheese slices, spicy mayo, or pickles for extra flair.
