Chicken Burgers
- Preheat the oven to 400º Fahrenheit.

- With damp hands, divide the mixture into 4 portions and shape each one a little wider than your buns.
- Place the patties on a baking sheet and bake 22 to 25 minutes, until the centers reach 165º Fahrenheit and the tops are golden. Let them rest 2 to 3 minutes before lifting.

Notes
FOOD SAFETY
Cook ground chicken to an internal temperature of 165º Fahrenheit. Check the center of a patty with a meat thermometer.RESTING THE SLAW
The slaw can sit 20 to 40 minutes while the patties bake. It tastes better the longer it rests.FIRMER PATTIES (OPTIONAL)
For a firmer, easier-to-shape patty, mix 3 tablespoons panko into the chicken.Nutrition
