Burgers are almost always received with an enthusiasm that rival few other foods. Mention the word and see your kid’s eyes lighten up, your man’s face widen into a broad grin. My household is no different.
Hence when I am feeling less creative, while feeling the need to be more appreciated, loved and looked at in awe, I create burgers.
Of course, I like to believe my burgers are more healthier than McDonald’s, and tastier than them too. I win the on the former, but loose on the latter.
But not always. Sometimes, like this one, they are not only more healthier, but they are tastier. This one, I win hands down 
Let me launch right away into ‘what you need section’.
You need burger buns.
You need Chicken Patties.
You need some vegetables.
You need ketchup and sour cream.
So what’s so special?
This is what is special:
This awesome looking sauce is what makes this burger so mouth-wateringly delightful. Smack. Your. Lips. delightful. Throw in some horseradish and your burger will win you fans for life.
- 1 large burger bun
- 1 chicken Pattie (frozen or fresh)
- 1/s tsp of cayenne pepper
- sprinkling of salt
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 3-4 round slices of Cucumbers
- 1 piece of a large vine Tomato sliced
- 1 piece of large red onion sliced
- Lettuce leaves
- 1 slice of cheese of your choice (provolone/swiss/pepperjack)
- 1 tsp of sour cream
- ¼ tsp prepared horseradish
- Ketchup according to taste
- Mayo to taste
- 1 tbs of mustard
- 1 tsp of red chili sauce
- 1 tsp of fresh garlic paste
- Mix and refrigerate ahead
- Dust the chicken Pattie with cayenne pepper, salt and lemon juice and let it stand for 10 minutes.
- Spray a cast iron grill with Pam.
- Fry the Pattie on both sides till fully cooked (the inside temperature should reach 165 degree F)
- Toast the bun on the inside
- Spread an even layer of sour cream and horseradish on the inside of the top bun.
- Spread a thick layer of mustard chili garlic sauce on the inside of the bottom bun
- Pile on the bottom bun: Lettuce, Pattie, Cheese, tomato, onion, cucumbers, ketchup, mayo (it’s not set in stone, you can switch them around as per your wish).
Oh wait! I know what you are thinking – my God, it’s HOT! All that chili…..but it’s NOT. It’s no more spicy than a normal mustard burger is. Just a bit tangier. The cayenne has no punch because it’s cooked off, and the proportion of mustard chili that actually goes into the burger is negligible. Also, all that cheese, mayo and vegetables take away from the heat. There is a punch though – from horseradish. However, if you like your burgers hot and even more tangier, then go ahead and add more chili mustard sauce.

And you know, it’s equally great with even hash browns instead of a pattie. Try it.
It’s true! I don’t know anyone that doesn’t love a burger and my eyes would light up at this!

Oh yeah same here Minnie, but somehow I have been having some trouble making a perfect burger. Maybe I should try your recipe, sounds and looks phenomenal Minnie!

This is a great place to start Helene. Burgers are the world’s easiest things to make. A Pattie between two pieces of ‘Pao’;p….and work form there.
Hi Minnie – I’ll admit right off that I’m not a fan of chicken burgers… give me beef any day, but these sound really good, and seriously – don’t even talk about McDonalds… gah, that place is just… so bad!
I think the reason I’m not a fan of chicken burgers is because they always seem so… processed, so if I made this I’d make the patty myself. I learned an excellent tip. Use a food processor to mince up the chicken, and add in some silken tofu, which will keep it delicious and moist when cooking! That way you know exactly what was in it, and no bad preservatives or additions!
What a great tip Charles! I must use this sometime. Try this burger with other meats too, and see how it comes out. I feel it will be equally good.Thanks for stopping by Charles
Mmm, special sauce. That always kicks it up a notch.

Thanks Kim, I know. No matter what the burger, whip up a sauce and you have a brand new flavor.
This looks AHHHmazing, Minnie
Nothing beats a good burger and I like the suggestion of replacing the pattie with a hash brown! 
I wanna try!

Thanks Balvinder, and welcome to my blog. Thanks so much for stopping by!
The sauce sounds delicious! I can’t believe it’s not too spicy.

Thanks Courtney! Believe me, it’s not. Unless you have zero tolerance for any heat and spice, you will do good. This burger heat is quite mild. Thanks so much for coming over
The burger looks fingerlicking! Love the sauce a lot.

I stopped eating McD hamburgers after my son’s friend did a science project on how soon the hamburger goes bad. The burger from McD didn’t change a thing for two weeks!!!! That scared me to death… Homemade started to get moldy in 2 days or so. I’m all about homemade burger or some really good homemade burger from restaurants…. This looks delish!

You are so right about that. I wonder what all goes in there. Homemade is best, no matter how you look at it.
I’d love that stuffing! Looks delicious on it’s own but amazing stuffed in the nice looking burgar!!
