RACHAEL RAY'S CHICKEN BURGER RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat grill to low heat and prep your toppings: wash and slice the tomato, rinse and dry the lettuce. Set aside.
• Wash the lemon and zest it. put the zest in a medium-large bowl.
• Wash and finely chop the oregano. There should be about 2 tablespoons of oregano once chopped. Add to the same bowl as the lemon zest. Grate the 2 cloves of garlic on a micrograter and add to the same bowl.
• Place a small dry skillet on the grill. Add the fennel seeds and toast for 3-4 minutes, until they start to turn light golden brown. Add them to the bowl with the lemon zest and oregano.
• Make the tzatziki: wash, peel, and grate the cucumber on the large holes of a box grater. Wrap in a kitchen towel or strong paper towel and squeeze out the extra water. Add the grated cucumber to the Greek yogurt. Add in the garlic powder, dried dill, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, and the juice from half of the lemon that you zested earlier. Combine well, cover, and let rest in the refrigerator for the flavors to marry.
• Add the remaining 1 teaspoon kosher salt, parmesan, crushed red pepper, allspice, fresh ground black pepper, and ground chicken to the bowl with the lemon zest, oregano, garlic, and fennel seeds. Gently combine and form into 4 equal patties, about ½ inch thick.
• Take a paper towel, wad it up, and hold with tongs. Dip it in vegetable oil and oil the grill grates to help prevent the burgers from sticking.
• Place the burgers on the grill, over medium heat, and close the lid. Cook for 1 ½ minutes. Then, use a spatula to rotate the burgers about one-quarter turn and close the lid to cook for another 1 ½ minutes.
• After the burgers have cooked for a total of 3 minutes on the first side, flip them and repeat the process (cooking for another 3 minutes total, rotating a quarter-turn after 1 ½ minutes).
• Check the burger temperature to ensure the chicken is cooked to 165. Remove burgers and allow them to rest off the grill for 5 minutes before serving.
• Build your burgers to your preference, using the tomato, lettuce, and pickled banana peppers, and top with the tzatziki.
