We are obsessed with these Jalapeño Pepper Jack Chicken Burgers with Roasted Garlic Mayo. The jalapeño, cilantro and pepper jack cheese add so much flavor to the moist chicken burgers. I mean they are a serious crowd pleasers.
When you shape the patties they do seem a little wet. But when they are placed on the hot lightly greased grill they firm up nicely.
I have to admit I have never had a chicken burger before, I have tried a turkey burger before and it always seemed to be dry. Blahh! You will be absolutely amazed at how juicy and tender these burgers turn out. They are bursting with flavor and it’s a nice change from the typical beef burger. The roasted garlic mayo is so yummy I could pretty much eat it right from the container.
Roasting garlic is so easy and makes the perfect mayo for this chicken burger.
This roasted garlic mayo is so so good! Stores perfectly in the fridge for up to 5 days.
