| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine ketchup, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Stir well to blend the flavors, then set aside for later use. |
| 2 | Mix the Burger Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the ground chicken and quick-cooking oats. Pour half of the prepared sauce over the chicken mixture. Using your hands or a spoon, thoroughly mix the ingredients until well combined, ensuring the sauce is evenly distributed throughout the chicken mixture. |
| 3 | Form Patties: Divide the chicken mixture into 4 equal portions. With your hands, shape each portion into a patty of desired thickness, ensuring they are evenly sized for consistent cooking. |
| 4 | Cook the Burgers: Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat. If using a grill, grease the grates to prevent sticking. Place the chicken patties on the grill or broiler pan and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165ยฐF (75ยฐC). |
| 5 | Baste with Sauce: During the last few minutes of cooking, use the remaining sauce to baste the burgers, brushing it generously over the tops of each patty. This will enhance the flavor and add a delicious glaze to the burgers. |
| 6 | Serve and Enjoy: Once the burgers are cooked to perfection, remove them from the grill or broiler and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot with your favorite burger accompaniments, such as whole-grain buns, lettuce, tomato, and sliced onion. Enjoy the spicy goodness of these hot and flavorful chicken burgers! |
