Chicken Skewer

Method

Chicken Skewer

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, onion, garlic, and parsley. Add Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce (if using). Crack in the egg and fold in breadcrumbs until the mixture is just moistened.

  2. 2

    Season and bind

    Gently mix in the grated lemon zest (if using) and ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed without overworking the meat.

  3. 3

    Form patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each into a 3/4 inch thick patty. Chill 15 minutes to help them hold shape during cooking.

  4. 4

    Preheat cooking surface

    Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400-450°F / 200-230°C). Lightly brush the grill or pan with olive oil to prevent sticking.

  5. 5

    Cook

    Cook patties 4-5 minutes per side, flipping once, until a deep golden crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  6. 6

    Rest and serve

    Let patties rest for 2-3 minutes. Serve on buns with your choice of toppings and condiments.

  7. 7

    Optional finishing touch

    If desired, brush with a touch more Worcestershire during the last minute of cooking for extra depth.
