How to Make a Delicious Homemade Chicken Burger

• Water: 5 teaspoons

• Salt and pepper: To taste

1. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Wash the chicken thoroughly, remove excess fat, and grind it using a meat grinder. Avoid over-grinding to prevent a mushy texture.

2. Mix the Ingredients:

   • In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, finely chopped onion, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

   • Mix well with your hands until evenly blended.

3. Chill the Mixture:

   • Since the mixture might not be sticky enough, refrigerate it for 1 hour to firm up.

4. Shape the Patties:

   • Take the mixture out of the refrigerator and divide it into 11–12 equal portions.

   • Shape each portion into a round patty.

5. Cook the Patties:

   • Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil.
