Chicken burgers?

[Dave]

HOW do people do this?

Everytime I add egg to homemade burgers, I get 'egg' everywhere in the pattie.

It looks and tastes like it's got egg in it after it's cooked.

I generally put in about 1 egg white per 500g and have never had the problem - 2 egg whites seems to be fine too as long as it's mixed. If you get your hands stuck in and mix it all thoroughly then you shouldn't have any problems.

Plain meat, no egg or breadcrumbs. Sometimes diced chorizo in a pork burger though. The older i get the less messing around with tge pattie and any flavouring going on top.

Isn't it something like small cut, as you shred lettuce.

Lettuce is a weird one. I can only think of cabbage as the other vegetable that you can really shred!

Everything else is just finely sliced, julienned or grated. I think...

 

[Glaucus]

Well shed just means small, looked it up so although it might not be common, you can shred anything.
And this is a burger thread, hence the confusion.

You can make chicken burgers from chicken mince... So in theory you could by making your own minced chicken, a food processor may do a better job.

But Why don't you half the breasts (depending on size) and breadcrumb them and make them into burgers.

Having a laugh? No.

Where did I say I'd shred chicken breast for a burger? This all started from someone asking why you'd shred chicken at all.

This is true, you weren't even talking about burgers

Last time I try and use this forum sober. All I do is make mistakes

Forget using egg. Add diced bacon to the mincemeat at ratio of 1 part bacon 2 parts mince. Then put a tablespoon of cloudy honey in...... and you'll end up with the greatest food mankind knows: self-glazing bacon burgers

I don't bother using anything to bind the mix

All I add to my mince (which i make myself) is finely chopped onions that have been fried off until soft, salt & pepper

Put some peri peri sauce on the chicken, grill it, put it on bread.

I think that's all they do at my local Chicken place.

I am not sure they grill it but it is a massive piece of chicken and not minced, filleted or cut in any way.

Not to mention chicken mince burger cooked in the oven.

Only ever seen chicken breast burgers. Only ever known burgers cooked on a pan or grill. (no, Birdseye frozen burgers don't count ).

Culinary Blasphemy!

I just wacked 3 breasts into my hand blender and put it on turbo. Didnt really work, it chopped it a bit but some stringy bits twizzled around the blade and stopped it.

Chicken breast must be tough, my hand blender copes with everything - carrots, ice, apples...

You dony need an egg, once you have made the burgers then chill in the fridge for an hour or two, they wont break up in the pan then.

 

[lookitsjonno]

i use the off cutts of a sunday roast to make burgers some times, mince together with 1/4 breadcrumbs. but why you would want to grind up perfectly good breast meat is beyond me

 

[HamZilla]

I've had chicken mince loads of times. Its chicken breast or thigh just put through a mincer. It hasn't impressed me though as the kebab or kofte made from it end up very dry as there is no fat in the meat.
