This Asian Chicken Burger Recipe with broccoli slaw is infused with lots spice flavors. It also has an apricot glaze and sriracha mayonnaise. It's one loaded up chicken burger!
I prefer chicken burgers, but they tend to dry out. So, I came up with this fun Asian chicken burger to both pack flavor and moisture into my burger. It includes inspiration from several areas in Asia.
Burma (now Myanmar) is a country that borders India, China and Thailand. It's cuisine borrows from these surrounding countries and I borrowed from all of them when creating this Asian fusion burger. As you can see, packing such a vast culinary region into one burger makes for a mighty big and deliciously messy burger.
Making an Ecclectic Asian Burger
While preparing two condiment sauces and fresh slaw for this burger may seem like a lot of work. I assure you it is really quite easy. Each part is simple to make and mostly just involves some mixing. (full recipe below)
First you will make the simple broccoli slaw recipe. It will only take a couple minutes to whisk the dressing ingredients together then toss with the shredded bagged broccoli.
Next whisk together the five ingredients for the apricot glaze.
The burger mixture has a few seasonings, chopped scallions or chives and some Panko crumbs. Form the burgers with oiled hands, then grill and top with the apricot glaze.
While the burgers are cooking, whisk together the easy sriracha mayonnaise.
Grab some buns, and slather a generous dollop of Sriracha Mayonnaise on the bottom slice. Once the chicken burgers are fully cooked, place one glaze side up on each bun, pile on some broccoli slaw and cover with the top of the bun.
Serve some delicious homemade kettle chips, dill pickle pasta salad, air fryer sweet potato fries or Asian Cucumber Salad on the side and you have yourself an amazing meal!
