This was my first time working with ground chicken and it was a good experience thanks to your recipe! You will never believe this but...I actually handled the meat with my own hands and mixed it up and formed the patties myself - big step! Anyway, t...more

I forgot to mention that I did not grill them but pan fried them instead. The cook time was the same. I added a touch of olive oil to the pan first.
