Ingredients for Patties

For crumb coating:

panko (Japanese bread crumbs)		1 cup
paprika or more		1 ¼ tsp
freshly cracked / crushed black pepper		1 tsp
cornflour		¼ cup
of salt		A dash

For the Barbecue Sauce:

ketchup		1½ cup
olive oil		¼ cup
water		½ cup
Worcester sauce		2 Tbsp
liquid smoke (optional , I used MESQUITE liquid smoke)		2 tsp
bay leaf		1
cayenne (chilli powder)		1 tsp
dry mustard powder (yellow)		1 tsp
onion, finely diced		¼ cup
garlic, minced		1 clove
brown Sugar		3 Tbsp
salt		½ tsp

Method:

Add minced chicken to a bowl. Add all other ingredients For the patties .
Gently work the mince with hands to form an evenly distributed mix.
Add ingredients for the Crumb Coating to a wide dish or plate.
Mix well with fork to distribute evenly. Add a little bit more paprika if needed to get a slight reddish color.
Press gently to a small ball/ patty first, using your palms.
Press each of these into the plate of crumb mixture and press gently to make a wider and thinner patty. Press so that that crumb coating adheres to the moist patty.
Transfer each patty to a tray lined with greaseproof /parchment paper.
When all the patties are done, press and shape the patties, using the grease proof paper as support to ensure all the patties are round and evenly shaped.
Place these in the freezer till set.
These can be kept frozen for use at a later time too. Once frozen, you can stack them and store them.
When time to cook, heat very little oil and a frying pan. About 1 Tbsp.
As the oil begins to heat up and before it is too hot, place the patties in the pan.
Cook on a steady, low heat, making sure there is a constant sizzle sound in the pan. If you don’t hear anything , your pan is not hot enough.
About 1 – 2 minutes per side will do. Minced chicken cooks quite fast.
Press gently over second side. a COOKED patty will give some bounce.
If overcooked the patty will taste dry and bland. Keep it moist and flavorful!
Place the cooked patties on kitchen paper towel to absorb the oil.
Cut burger buns in half. Place on the pan to toast the inner sides.
Add a little ketchup and mayo on the bottom bun.
Add some freshly cracked black pepper if desired.
Or you can use a simple BBQ Sauce instead of ketchup-mayo, if you like that.
Place the patty over the sauce.
Place a slice of cheese over the patty (optional).
Broil or microwave briefly to melt the cheese a bit.
Add the desired extra toppings; sliced tomato, onion, lettuce etc..
Serve immediately.
For the optional Homemade BBQ SAUCE: Combine all ingredients for the sauce in a saucepan (non stick is good) and stir to mix.
Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Wipe down sides of pan with a wet silicone brush occasionally.
Allow to cool completely. You can remove any separated oil using an oil strainer, or simply pour off.
Store in airtight jar in the fridge.
