STEPS

1

Chop herbs finely with garlic and mix with olive oil, white wine vinegar, kosher salt, black pepper, cumin, and red pepper flakes to make chimichurri sauce. Refrigerate until needed.

2

Freeze chicken thighs until firm (about 30 minutes). Chop coarsely by hand or process in a food processor until resembling ground meat.

3

Mix ground chicken with salt and 1/4 cup chimichurri sauce thoroughly. Form into 4 equal-sized patties and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

4

Prepare chimichurri mayo by mixing remaining chimichurri sauce with mayonnaise. Refrigerate until needed.

5

Sprinkle both sides of burger patties with breadcrumbs.

6

Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook burger patties for 5 minutes per side or until thoroughly cooked (internal temperature: 145-150°F).

7

Allow burger patties to rest for 2 minutes and serve on buns with chimichurri mayo and desired toppings.
