    Chicken Burgers with Almost Big Mac Sauce – Cooking like my Grandma

    Chicken Burger
    Do you ever make something and think to yourself, “Why didn’t I write down what I used?”  Yeah, that’s me almost every night.. Hubby is pleased as well as I, but then I realize.. I didn’t write anything down.  So last night I made chicken burgers.  I was craving a nice juicy cheeseburger with McDonald’s Big Mac Sauce.. That stuff is magic right there.  So I rummaged through the pantry and fridge to see if I could somehow make what I was craving.  Thankfully we had enough on hand to make Chicken Burgers..

    Since I didn’t write down the exact measurements I can at least tell you what went into these burgers.. and I will be making them again soon, but this time I’ll be sure to have a pen and paper.  I think I learned this way of cooking from my Grandma.  She was famous for “Add a little of this a little of that”  No measurements.  Her food was incredible.. Grandma knew best – “You don’t know by measuring, you know by tasting!”

    Chicken Burgers
    1lb 99%FF Ground Chicken
    Italian bread crumbs
    2 Eggs
    Milk
    1 Onion, chopped
    Garlic Salt – Season Salt – Peppercorn Medley
    Cheese

    Mix together and form into patties.  Pan fry 3 minutes each side and then finish in a 375 degree preheated oven until internal temperature reaches 165.  Finish off with a slice of american cheese, or cheddar.

    Then I topped it with a sauce that was pretty darn close to the Big Mac Sauce..

    Almost Big Mac Sauce
    1 Kosher Dill Pickle, chopped
    Mayo (base)
    Mustard (small amount)
    Ketchup (medium amount)
    Splash of White Vinegar
    Pinch of Onion and Garlic Powder

    Mix all and chill in the refrigerator until use.

    I put my burger on top of a bed of chopped romaine, sliced tomatoes, topped with the sauce, and some delicious coleslaw on the side.. I enjoyed 🙂

      I love healthier versions of fast food (which I don’t eat). This looks yummy! I also cook by instinct a lot of the time!

      We are making turkey burgers today, I am going to make your sauce, I am always looking for that sort of mixture. I use french dressing mixed with mayo but this sounds perfect, look for a post with a link back to you!

      Hubs and I were just talking about re-creating a Big Mac at home last week. I’m happy to see I’m not alone in my fast food loves.

      I’ve never had a chicken burger, it sounds delicious. I don’t like pickles so the sauce is a no-go for me, but I know a lot of people like it.

      I cook that way a lot, too. My mom still never uses measurements. I will definitely be trying this sauce, soon!

      I often do the same thing and forget to measure.

      Now don’t laugh but I’ve never had Big Mac sauce … your version looks good though.

      That looks delicious! I’m the same way with making something and not writing down the recipe. Sharing recipes on my blog has really helped me keep track of the food I’m creating.

      My husband loves Big Macs, but since we do not eat fast food anymore he hasn’t had one in forever. I will definitely try making this sauce for him soon!
