1 Gather your ingredients and preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat (about 400°F).
2 Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the minced onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes, until soft and fragrant. Remove from heat.
3 In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, sautéed onion, panko, mayo, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix just until combined—don’t overwork the meat.
4 Divide the mixture into four equal portions (about 4 oz each). Gently shape into patties and press a shallow indent into the center of each one with your thumb to help them cook evenly and avoid puffing up.
5 Place buns cut-side down on the hot grill for 1–2 minutes, until lightly golden and crisp. Set aside.
6 Grill the patties for 4–5 minutes per side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
7 Let the burgers rest for a few minutes off the heat so the juices can redistribute. Then serve on toasted buns with your favorite toppings (I went with red onion, lettuce, tomato, and pickles). Enjoy!
