Chicken burgers don’t have to be dry and boring. We packed ours full of spicy peppers and seasoning. To balance out that spice, we topped it with sweet grilled pineapple.
I hate how chicken gets a bad wrap. People call it plain or boring, and sadly, most people totally overcook it. I love this sandwich because it’s the perfect combination of spiciness, sweetness and just a touch of smoky barbecue sauce. Trust me, if you’re looking for a new sandwich in your life, this totally fits the bill.
