Ingredients

Chicken Burgers

1 pound ground chicken
½ cup panko bread crumbs
1 chipotle pepper finely chopped
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper

Chipotle Sauce

½ cup Mayo
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
1 chipotle pepper minced

Additional Ingredients

4 burger buns I used brioche buns
lettuce as needed
tomato slices as needed
8 slices of cooked bacon
4 slices of cheese I used cheddar cheese

Instructions

Chicken Burgers. In a bowl mix the chicken, Panko, chipotle in adobo, paprika, 1 teaspoon chili powder, salt, and pepper. Form into 4 burgers.
Air Fryer Instructions. Preheat the air fryer to 360°F. Spay the air fryer basket with cooking oil to prevent sticking. Cook chicken patties for 8-10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Sauce. While the chicken burgers are cooking, mix together mayo, chipotle, and sweet chili sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
Assemble Burgers. Place chicken burgers on a toasted bun with cheese, bacon, sliced tomatoes, lettuce, and chipotle sauce.

Notes

Don't overcook the chicken patties or they will become dry and tough. Burgers are done when they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
Storage: Refrigerate cooked chicken patties in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
Make these burgers low-carb by wrapping them in lettuce.
