Spicy Nashville-Style Chicken Burger - Image 1

A Nashville-inspired crispy chicken burger brought into the Beef Burgers category through its handheld, hearty presentation: a crisp, well-seasoned patty glazed with a vinegary heat, crowned with dill pickle rounds and a cool mayo drizzle. Served on a soft bun with a crunchy bun bite and tangy toppings, it suits backyard grills and casual weeknight meals where bold flavor and texture take center stage.

Pat the chicken dry before breading to maximize crust.
Brush glaze on late in cooking to keep buns crisp and intact.
Serve with extra pickle rounds on the side for crunch.
