Instructions

Remove ground chicken from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to reach room temperature.

In large mixing bowl, combine all dry seasonings and mix thoroughly for even distribution.

Add ground chicken to seasoning blend and mix gently with hands to distribute evenly.

Create small well in center of chicken mixture for wet ingredients addition.

Add egg, panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, mustard, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce to well.

Gently fold wet ingredients into chicken mixture, being careful not to overmix.

Divide mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties slightly larger than buns.

Create slight indentation in center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Place formed patties on plate and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat or heat cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Brush grates with oil or add oil to skillet to prevent sticking.

Cook patties for 5-6 minutes on first side without pressing or moving them.

Flip patties carefully and cook additional 4-5 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Add cheese slices during last 2 minutes of cooking and cover to melt properly.

Remove patties to plate and tent with foil, allowing to rest for 5 minutes.

Slice buns in half and toast cut sides on grill or in dry skillet until golden.

Spread desired sauces on both top and bottom bun halves generously.

Layer bottom bun with lettuce, tomato, and any desired vegetables.

Place cooked chicken patty with melted cheese on prepared vegetables.

Top with additional garnishes like bacon, avocado, or caramelized onions.

Crown with top bun and secure with skewer if needed for stability.

Serve immediately while patty is hot and cheese is melted for optimal experience.
