Burgers are as much apart of summer as the ice cream cone or peaches. They come in all shapes, sizes and flavors. Most cooks go straight for ground beef but chicken deserves some burger love too. The important thing when cooking a chicken burger is to not let it dry out. Chicken has significantly less fat then beef and therefore can have a tough time staying juicy. Monitor the temperature of the patties and remove them from the grill at approximately 160 degrees Fahrenheit (carry over cooking time should raise the temperature another five degrees or so). Treat the chicken burger as you would a beef one and pile on the toppings and condiments.
