Chicken burgers

Crunchy and tasty. Stick it in a toasted brioche bun with lashings of sriracha, mayo, sliced gherkins and a couple of baby gem lettuce leaves. With the obligatory coleslaw and sweet potato wedges on the side. Makes 4.

  • 500g minced chicken
  • 2 slices of white bread
  • 150ml milk
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
  • Zest of ½ a lemon
  • 150g or so of dried breadcrumbs
  • Veg oil
  1. Soak the bread in the milk for 10 mins
  2. Put the mince in a bowl, add the egg, milk and bread mixture, and season with salt
  3. Mix thoroughly, cover and pop in the fridge for 10 mins
  4. Make into 4 burger shapes (or more, if you want little burgers!)
  5. Mix the breadcrumbs, garlic, lemon zest and parsley. Season and mix again
  6. Tip onto a plate and coat the burgers with the zesty breadcrumbs
  7. Heat veg oil in a large non-stick frying pan and fry for 5 mins on each side until golden brown, crunchy and cooked through
