• 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
• 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, sesame oil, panko breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a burger patty. Set aside on a plate.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a bit of oil.

Step 4

Cook the chicken patties for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.

Step 5

While the patties are cooking, prepare the rainbow sesame slaw. In a large bowl, combine red cabbage, julienned carrots, red bell pepper, cucumber, cilantro, and sesame seeds.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, rice vinegar, and sriracha (if using). Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss well to coat.

Step 7

Toast the burger buns lightly, if desired.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers by placing a chicken patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a generous helping of rainbow sesame slaw and cover with the top half of the bun.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Chinese Chicken Burgers with Rainbow Sesame Slaw!
