Mini Chicken Burgers with Slaw
Stacks of glossy mini brioche buns with golden chicken patties peeking out, slaw spilling down the sides, a heap of crisp skin-on fries and bright green pickles tucked in alongside.
Ingredients
Serves 4- 500 gchicken mince
- 1egg, beaten
- 40 gpanko breadcrumbs
- Fine salt, to taste
- 4spring onions, finely sliced
- 1 tspsmoked paprika
- 2 tbspolive oil
- 1 tspDijon mustard
- 8mini brioche buns, about 35 g each, split
- 200 gwhite cabbage, finely shredded
- 2carrots, julienned or grated
- 1apple, cut into matchsticks
- 120 gGreek yoghurt
- 15 mllemon juice
- 2 tbspmayonnaise
- 2little gem lettuces, leaves separated
- 600 gskin-on fries (optional)
- 10 gdill, chopped, optional (optional)
- Black pepper, to taste
Method
- Combine the chicken mince with most of the spring onions (keep a small handful back for scattering), the panko, egg, Dijon, smoked paprika and a generous pinch of salt and black pepper. Mix until just bound; overworking it makes the patties tight. Divide into 8 patties shaped slightly wider than your buns, since they will tighten as they cook. Chill while you make the slaw.
- While the patties rest, tip the cabbage, carrot and apple into a bowl with the Greek yoghurt, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Season lightly and toss until everything is glossy and coated. You want it creamy, crunchy and gently sweet.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Fry four patties for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and their centres reach 75°C for 30 seconds. Keep warm and repeat with the remaining 1 tbsp oil and four patties. Lower the heat if the outside colours too quickly.
- Toast the bun halves cut-side down in the same pan for 30–60 seconds, working in batches.
- Build each burger: a leaf of little gem on the bun base, a hot patty on top, then a generous spoonful of slaw. Press the lids on gently so the slaw mingles into the lettuce.
- Serve two mini burgers per person with any extra slaw and the reserved spring onions. Add the optional chopped dill if using. Cook the optional fries according to their packet instructions while you prepare the burgers and serve alongside.
