Why this recipe is great:

These gluten free ground chicken burgers are moist, delicious, and easy to make. You can top them with anything from lettuce and tomato to the fancy caramelized onions and hatch chiles I use.

This way, everyone in the family gets a burger the way they like it! You can use my homemade Gluten Free Hamburger Buns recipe!

Ingredient notes:

ground chicken burgers ingredients
  • Ground chicken - I love ground chicken because it is low-fat. You can also use ground turkey or higher-fat meats like beef or pork.
  • Gluten free panko - Gluten free bread crumbs also work well, and they are easy to make.
  • Onion - I prefer to use yellow onions or sweet Hawaiian onions.

Are you ready to grill some burgers?

Recipe step-by-step instructions:

sliced onions caramelizing in a pan

Step 1: Slice your onions thinly. Heat a pan on the stove on medium heat. Add avocado oil and onions. Cook on low heat for 20 minutes, occasionally stirring until the onions turn golden brown and are caramelized and sweet.

(*Note that onions shrink as they caramelize so you need to use more onion than you may think.

Step 2: Add the roasted hatch chiles and simmer 5 minutes. (*Because hatch chiles can be very spicy, I dice mine into small pieces.)

Step 3: In a bowl, add your ground chicken, an egg, panko, and spices. Mix well. Preheat your grill to 375º F.

Step 4: Shape the burgers into patties.

Tips and Recipe FAQ:

Is panko gluten free?

Unfortunately, panko is not gluten free. The good news is there are a few companies that make gluten free panko, like Ians and Schar. You can also make your own homemade gluten free bread crumbs and panko!

Best ways to cook burgers?

We are huge burger fanatics! We typically grill our burgers on the grill; it means a lot less cleanup! You can also cook burgers by baking them in the oven or cooking them stovetop. You can even get a small kitchen grill to cook your burgers.

How do you keep chicken burgers moist?

I keep chicken burgers moist by adding egg and bread crumbs. This helps hold moisture in the burger better.

Can you make this burger recipe not spicy?

It is easy to turn down the heat on these ground chicken burgers by using mild roasted green chiles instead of roasted hatch green chiles.

If you want even more spice, top these burgers with some of this hot pepper sauce.

Side dishes:

There are lots of side dishes that are delicious with burgers. Try one of these popular gluten free side-dish recipes:
