For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the burgers instead of baking and pan-frying. The smoky char enhances the tandoori spices beautifully. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your spice preference. A pinch of cayenne pepper can also be added for an extra kick. To keep the burgers moist, avoid overmixing the ingredients. Gently combine until just incorporated. Serve with a side of raita (yogurt sauce) and naan bread for a complete Indian-inspired meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, gently combine the ground chicken, red onion, cilantro, ground red chile pepper, yogurt, tandoori paste, lemon juice, parsley, cumin, red pepper flakes, garlic paste, ginger paste, and garam masala. Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed. (Prep time: 15 minutes)
02
StepCover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and allow the mixture to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and deepen. (Marinating time: 2+ hours)
03
StepPreheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)
04
StepGently stir in the bread crumbs and egg into the marinated chicken mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
05
StepDivide the mixture into equal portions and form into patties, about 1/2-inch thick. Arrange the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
06
StepBake in the preheated oven until the patties are cooked through, approximately 5 to 8 minutes per side, flipping once. (Baking time: 10-16 minutes)
07
StepWhile the patties are baking, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
08
StepCarefully transfer the baked patties to the hot skillet. Cook until nicely browned and slightly crisp, about 7 to 8 minutes per side. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the center reaches at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (Cooking time: 14-16 minutes)
