Asian Chicken Burger with Broccoli Slaw

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 recipe for Asian chicken burgers that packs both flavor and moisture into the burgers. 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.

Mixing this sriracha mayonnaise literally just takes a minute.

If you don't like spicy mayo, try pouring a little hoisin sauce on the burger instead.

Assembling Asian Chicken Burgers

Grab some buns, and slather a generous dollop of Sriracha Mayonnaise on the bottom slice. Once the chicken burgers are fully cooked, place chicken burger 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, potato salad, air fryer sweet potato fries or Asian Cucumber Salad on the side and you have yourself an amazing meal! Some pickled daikon would be good on the burger too.
