Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Burger Recipes     Chicken

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 teaspoon olive oil
⅓ cup diced red onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 pound ground chicken
¾ cup panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 pineapple rings
4 slices provolone cheese
4 hamburger buns, split
2 tablespoons light mayonnaise, or to taste
8 canned jalapeno pepper slices, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add red onion, garlic, and ginger; saute until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Combine chicken, panko, teriyaki sauce, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add cooled onion and mix gently with your hands until fully incorporated. Create 4 burger patties.
  • Grill burgers on the preheated grill until cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side, adding provolone slices towards the end of the cooking time so they can melt. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the burgers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Grill pineapple slices alongside the burgers until warm, about 1 minute per side.
  • While the burgers are cooking, prepare hamburger buns with a light smear of mayonnaise. Place cooked burgers on buns and top with pineapple slices and jalapeno peppers.

HAWAIIAN HONEY BURGERS

Meet the Cook: These burgers were a favorite when I was growing up. I now use them as a way to "fancy up" a barbecue without a lot of extra preparation. They keep me out of a hot kitchen yet let me serve a nice meal. Fresh fruit and corn on the cob are wonderful accompaniments. As the oldest of six children, I began cooking when I was very young.

These burgers are among my family's top choices of gourmet burgers that I've concocted. A rich barbecue flavor followed by a sweet aftertaste makes for one flavorful burger. Use a Hawaiian-style thick barbecue sauce if possible. If your sauce is thin, use less in the burger mix so the burgers hold together when grilling.

Provided by Cheryl Culver

Categories     Burgers

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp low sodium soy sauce
2 lb lean ground beef
2 Tbsp pineapple juice(from canned pineapple)
2 Tbsp teriyaki sauce
4 slice red onions
4 slice swiss cheese
lettuce
mayo or miracle whip
4 large good buns your choice
4 slice pineapple(drain and reserve juices)

Steps:

  • 1. I start with a grilled beef burger with a Hawaiian kick Sauce topped with a pineapple. swiss cheese and red onions. How to Make them Preheat grill to medium-high. Mix pineapple juice and teriyaki sauce together. Set aside. Mix beef, ginger, garlic, salt and soy sauce in a small bowl. Divide into 4 patties and form into patties slightly larger than your bun. Make a little whole in the center of the burger to prevent it from doming up in the center. It will fill in as your burger cooks. Grill until golden brown and slightly charred (about 3-5 minutes), turning once (cook for 3 minutes on the other side for medium). Baste with pineapple teriyaki sauce as your burger cooks. Try not to press down on your burger with a spatula. It will cause the juices to escape and will create a dry burger! Grill pineapple slices until pineapple have golden brown grill marks on both sides. Toast hamburger buns by placing on grill until grill marks form, this wont take long Do not walk away during this process. Toast can turn to ash in the blink of an eye. Spread mayo on bottom bun. Top with lettuce, burger, Swiss cheese, grilled pineapple, red onion
  • 2. Serve with my Fantastic French Fries

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your burgers.
  • Season your burgers well. Don't be afraid to use a generous amount of salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder.
  • Cook your burgers over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from drying out.
  • Don't overcook your burgers. A medium-rare burger is the most flavorful and juicy.
  • Let your burgers rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
  • Top your burgers with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
  • Serve your burgers immediately. They are best when they are hot and fresh off the grill.

Conclusion:
