Steps
Step 1
Chop tomato and onion
Seed and cut all 3 tomatoes into 1 cm dice, finely dice the onion and mince the garlic.
Step 2
Mix the tomato relish
Mix tomato, onion, vinegar, sugar and one-quarter of the salt; rest for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Mix the patty base
Gently combine minced chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, parsley, oregano, garlic, remaining salt and black pepper.
Step 4
Shape 4 patties
With damp hands, divide into 4 equal patties about 2 cm thick and press a shallow centre dent.
Step 5
Heat the pan
Add cooking oil to the frying pan and heat over medium for 1 minute.
Step 6
Cook the first side
Arrange all 4 patties in one layer and cook the first side for 5 minutes.
Step 7
Cook the second side
Turn the patties and cook the second side for 5 minutes.
Step 8
Check the patties
Check every patty reaches 75°C in the centre; if not, cook 2 minutes more at a time.
Step 9
Rest the patties
Transfer the patties to a clean plate and rest for 3 minutes.
Step 10
Warm the buns
Split the 4 buns and warm them cut-side down in a dry pan for 1 minute.
Step 11
Drain the relish
Drain excess liquid from the relish while keeping the tomato and onion pieces.
Step 12
Assemble and serve
Place 1 chicken patty and one-quarter of the relish in each bun, close all 4 burgers and serve on a large plate.
Common mistakes
- Overworking minced chicken makes firm patties; mix only until combined and shape with damp hands.
Tips
Press a shallow dent in each patty centre so it cooks to an even thickness.
