Tools to Make Chicken Burgers

Food Processor– The best way to make a ground chicken in no time. Or just use already ground chicken, but I prefer grinding chicken thighs myself, just like in my Chicken Nugget recipe, plus it’s less expensive. 

Mandoline– Or a really sharp chef knife to slice your cabbage very thin. 

Large Bowl– Multiple sizes that stack perfectly in any kitchen. 

Cast Iron Pan– If you decide not to grill these chicken burgers, using a cast iron pan is the nest way to get a nice crispy outside texture but ensure a moist burger inside.
