Chicken Satay Burger Recipe: An Asian-Inspired Delight

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon Asian chile pepper sauce (such as sambal oelek), or to taste
• 1 teaspoon lime juice
• 0.5 cup carrots cut into thin matchsticks
• 0.5 cup cucumber cut into thin matchsticks
• 2 tablespoons jalapeno peppers cut into thin matchsticks
• 1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoons fish sauce
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
• 1.5 tablespoons coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon dry bread crumbs
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 pound ground chicken
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
• salt
• 4 hamburger buns
• 0.25 cup cilantro leaves

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine peanut butter, 1 teaspoon of chili sauce, and lime juice. Mix well until fully combined.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together carrot, cucumber, and jalapeño. Add vinegar and fish sauce, then set aside.
3. In a bowl, combine garlic, basil, coconut milk, bread crumbs, soy sauce, the remaining 1 teaspoon of chili sauce, cumin, and turmeric. Add the ground chicken and mix until well combined. The mixture will be soft.
4. In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, fry a small portion of the chicken mixture until browned and cooked through. Taste and adjust the seasoning with cayenne pepper and salt as needed. Avoid consuming raw chicken.
5. Divide the remaining chicken mixture into 4 equal portions. Form each portion into a patty and cook in the same skillet until browned on the bottom (about 5 minutes). Flip and cook for another 5 minutes until cooked through.
6. Spread about 1 teaspoon of peanut butter spread onto each bun half. Top the bottom bun with a chicken patty, 1/4 of the carrot slaw, and 1 tablespoon of cilantro leaves. Add the top bun and serve immediately.
