Why It’s a Must-Make

This burger’s all about big flavour and zero fuss. The chicken is tender and packed with herbs and spices that hit all the right spots. Baking keeps it light yet crispy, no fryer needed. Add a zesty sauce, crisp lettuce, and juicy tomatoes, and you’ve got a meal that feels indulgent but won’t weigh you down. It’s a total win for family dinners or your next backyard bash.

The Flavour Makers

Here’s what brings this burger to life:

• Boneless, skinless chicken thighs: Juicy, tender, and perfect for soaking up flavour.

• Yogurt marinade: Yogurt tenderizes, while salt, pepper, Cajun spice, and rice flour add bold, crispy vibes.

• Garlic: A savoury kick that takes it up a notch.

• Peri-peri & sour cream sauce: Spicy, tangy, creamy—this sauce is pure magic.

• Fresh toppings: Lettuce and tomatoes for crunch and freshness.

Simple ingredients, massive payoff. Your taste buds are in for a treat.

Pro Tips for Nailing It

Want to crush this burger? Here’s the scoop:

• Marinate longer for max flavour—30 minutes minimum, overnight for the win.

• Amp up the sauce with my Mint Chutney from the blog for a cool, zesty twist.

• Lightly toast the bun to hold all that goodness without sogginess.

• Customize it—avocado, pickles, or extra spice—make it yours.

Pair it with my Mint Chutney or Tandoori Chicken Naan Burgers from the blog for a flavour-packed meal.
