Chicken Burgers
17 Answers
I don’t like beef burgers so have always bought a variety of veggie burgers to have in a bun.
However, I just fancied a change so have some chicken burgers in the freezer for our evening meal today, they’re ones made with chicken breast not processed bits and pieces. Have made a big bowl of salad to have with them, some homemade coleslaw, and potato salad made with the leftovers from last night.
Just got me thinking though...what do you have on a chicken burger? Just the burger, a slice of cheese, some salad piled on top, something else??

Many thanks people.
We had mayo on one side of bun and sweet chilli sauce on the other, just perfect. If I’d have had some sweet corn relish I’d have had that too, must get some.
I agree with ginge, cheese just doesn’t seem right on a chicken burger but it’s whatever floats your boat.
Will defo get these chicken burgers again, very very nice.

I'm not a great lover of burgers in general but I occasionally visit a local burger van just to get me out of the house. Bianca, who runs it, serves lovely crispy chicken burgers. Simply asking for "my usual, please" is all that's really needed for me to get what I want but, when I decide to go into a bit more detail, that means "with a cheese slice upstairs and downstairs and lettuce".
Err, seems there's some confusion on this thread as to how we define a chicken breast burger.
The UK Foods Standards Agency allows manufacturers to make chicken breast burgers from both the chilled chicken breasts you buy in supermarkets and reformed versions of the breasts. This means that when you buy a product that is made from or contains "chicken breast" it can indeed be made from the "bits and pieces" mentioned by the OP. Furthermore, because of this, it is indeed "processed".
Take a moment to understand what I'm saying here: I am not claiming that any old "bits and pieces" of chicken are in a chicken breast burger. I am saying that "bits and pieces" of chicken breast are permitted in that burger within the confines of current UK food regulations and such a burger can be highly compressed "bits and pieces" of chicken breast meat from assorted sources.
The fact of the matter is that making a chicken burger out of nothing but a butchers cut of a chicken breast would make that burger prohibitively expensive. It's just too costly for the consumer. Furthermore, there is no legal definition of what a manufacturer means when they claim the burger is made of "chicken fillet" so that phrase is of little value too.
Do a search on any of the major supermarket websites for Birds Eye Chicken Quarter Pounders which are made from chicken breast according to the pack front. The ingredients list on the reverse contains the legal definition of the product. It says "Chicken Quarter Pounders formed from chopped chicken breast....". The word "formed" means that they do contain chicken breast bits and pieces. Like it or not, lots of chickens contribute to a chicken burger and there is no doubt that they are highly processed.
