Directions
  1. Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken with Cajun seasoning, ensuring an even distribution of the spices.
  2. Form the Patties: Divide the chicken mixture into equal portions and shape them into patties, about ½ inch thick.
  3. Preheat Your Cooking Surface: Preheat your grill, skillet, or air fryer to medium heat (about 375°F/190°C).
  4. Cook the Patties: Place the patties onto the hot cooking surface and cook for about 5-7 minutes on one side.
  5. Allow to Rest: Once cooked, remove the Cajun Chicken Burgers from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes.
  6. Assemble Your Burgers: While the patties rest, toast your buns, spread spicy mayo, and add fresh toppings before capping with the top bun.
