Chicken Burgers

My grilling skills leave a lot to be desired.  This is what I learned while trying to grill these Chicken Burgers with Garlic-Rosemary Mayonnaise by the lovely Giada de Laurentiis.  This was my first time using my dad's grill, and it was my first time making burgers.  Some of them fell apart while flipping.  I gave up and asked my dad to flip them.  He claims I just need practice.  I think I just need a little, George-Foreman-style grill that doesn't require me to flip the food.

Regardless of their appearance, these chicken burgers were quite delicious!  The garlic and rosemary mayo was so fresh and fragrant.  Yum!

Ingredients:

1 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup fresh rosemary leaves, chopped

1 garlic clove, minced

1 pound ground chicken

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Sandwich rolls or burger buns

Directions:

1.  Mix together the mayonnaise, rosemary, and garlic.

2.  Preheat a gas or charcoal grill.  Lightly oil the grilling rack.

3.  In a large bowl, combine the chicken, salt, pepper, and half of the mayonnaise mixture.  Using clean hands, gently mix the ingredients and form into 6 patties.  Grill until cooked through.  

4.  Serve chicken burgers with rolls or buns and garnish with dollops of remaining mayonnaise mixture.
