If you’re trying to switch to more heart-healthy summer foods, you may have contemplated grilling ground chicken burgers instead of traditional hamburgers. The best chicken burgers usually have a little something extra mixed in. Because ground chicken is so low in fat content, you’ll need to incorporate some olive oil to add moisture. While the olive oil will add calories and fat, it is still healthful oil, so don’t worry about adding a little into your recipe.

Always prepare your grill beforehand by cleaning and oiling the grates using a paper towel and some olive oil or vegetable oil. You’ll want to cook chicken burgers in a covered grill on medium heat until the juices run clear instead of pink. You can use a meat thermometer to gauge the internal temperature of the burger. It will be done when the thermometer reads 170 degrees.

Chicken burgers also benefit from being brushed with a glaze or sauce while grilling. Try making a barbeque chicken burger by brushing barbeque sauce on the meat while grilling and serving with a slice of cheese melted on top. You may want to serve the barbeque chicken burger with dill pickles, lettuce, tomato, bacon and another dollop of barbeque sauce for a delicious meal.

Other popular glazes for chicken burgers are soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, honey and marmalade.
