Jalapeño Chicken Burgers

Take a large bowl. Add granulated garlic, cumin, paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, mayo, jalapeño, onion, and cilantro to it. Mix these ingredients together until they are well - blended.

Add the chicken to the bowl. Use a fork or your hands to mix the chicken with the other ingredients until everything is thoroughly combined.

Lightly coat a large plate with non - stick spray or oil.

Take a 1/3 cup dry measuring cup and lightly oil it. Use this measuring cup to form the chicken mixture into about 6 mounds. Place these mounds on the prepared plate.

Leave the mounds uncovered and chill them in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes and up to 2 hours. This step will help keep the burgers firm. If you plan to chill them for more than 2 hours, cover the plate with plastic wrap and you can chill them for up to 2 days.

Pour 1 tablespoon of oil into a large nonstick skillet. Heat the skillet over medium heat.

Working in 2 batches, transfer the chilled chicken mounds into the hot skillet. Take a spatula and lightly grease it to avoid sticking. Use the spatula to press the mounds into patties.

Cook the patties in the skillet until they are browned on the first side, which should take about 3 minutes. Remember to use one spatula for pressing the raw patties and a different spatula for flipping the cooked ones.

Use the clean spatula to turn the patties over. If you're using cheese, add a slice on top of each patty.

Cook the patties on the second side until the burgers are fully cooked, which will take an additional 2 - 3 minutes.

Once the burgers are cooked, let them rest for about 5 minutes. After that, you can place them in a bun, add your favorite toppings, and enjoy the juicy goodness.
