# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Preheat an indoor or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
02 -
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, Cheez-Its crumbs, shredded cheese, egg, Worcestershire sauce, and all seasonings. Mix with hands until well incorporated.
03 -
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty approximately 3.5 inches wide and 3/4 inch thick.
04 -
Oil the grill grates thoroughly and drizzle olive oil on each patty to help prevent sticking.
05 -
Grill burgers covered for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F, juices run clear, and centers are no longer pink. Adjust heat if burgers brown too quickly.
06 -
Alternatively, cook patties on a covered skillet over medium heat until fully cooked and golden brown.
07 -
Serve patties on hamburger buns with desired toppings such as mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, and red onion.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Do not press down on patties while grilling to retain juiciness.
02 -
Overmixing the meat mixture can result in dense, chewy burgers.
03 -
If desired, substitute ground turkey for chicken.
