Method
 

Preparation
  1. Combine the ground chicken with feta, onion, garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, lemon juice, breadcrumbs, and egg in a mixing bowl.
  2. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat and form the mixture into burger-sized patties.
  3. Refrigerate the formed patties for at least 30 minutes to help retain their shape and moisture.
Cooking
  1. Preheat the grill or stovetop pan over medium heat.
  2. Cook the burgers for about 6–7 minutes per side until they are beautifully browned and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
Serving
  1. Serve the chicken burgers immediately on your choice of buns or pita with a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce and fresh veggies.
