I actually had to check back and make sure I hadn't blogged this burger yet-I have made it quite a few times and it is one of our favorites-actually Matt says this might be his favorite chicken burger! For an over the top burger, the original recipe calls for adding pulled pork in addition to the chicken-I haven't tried that way yet and can still speak to the deliciousness of these burgers. I also most recently made these with bottled barbecue sauce because I was lazy-and they were absolutely divine!
BBQ Chicken Burgers
1 pound ground chicken
1/4 cup cornmeal
1 scallion, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
pinch cayenne
2 teaspoon brown sugar
2/3 cup chopped pulled pork
5 tablespoons barbecue sauce, divided
1/2 red onion, sliced into rings
4 slices extra sharp cheddar
4 burger buns
olive oil
Prepare grill.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken, cornbread, scallion, cilantro, paprika, garlic, mustard, salt, cayenne, brown sugar, pork (if using), and 2 tablespoons of the barbecue sauce. Lightly but thoroughly mix with your hands to incorporate all the ingredients. Set aside the remaining 3 tablespoons of barbecue sauce to a small bowl.
Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties. Brush the grates of the grill with olive oil. Place the burgers and onions on the grill, and cook the burgers 5-6 minutes, or until cooked about halfway through, then flip both the burgers and the onions. Brush the cooked sides with half of the reserved barbecue sauce. After 3-4 minutes, or until the burgers are cooked through, flip the burgers again. glazing the other side with the remaining barbecue sauce. Place a slice of cheese on each burger, and lay the buns, cut side down, on the grill. Close the lid and allow the cheese to melt and the buns to toast.
Remove all the food from the grill, assembling the burgers as desired. Serve with additional barbecue sauce if desired.

These look great and I like the addition of cornmeal - it's a gluten friendly meal too with a GF bun!
