Ingredients

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning (rosemary, thyme and oregano)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 garlic clove, crushed
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 1 tsp sriracha sauce (can also use any hot chili sauce or plain ketchup)
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 4 bacon strips, cooked
• 2 large onions, thinly sliced and caramelized
• 1 tomato, sliced
• 4 pieces of lettuce
• Hamburger buns (I used Brioche buns)

Directions

• Sprinkle the ground chicken evenly with salt and spices in a large bowl. Gently form the chicken into 4 balls, then lightly press into 4-inch-wide, ½-inch thick patties (or 1-inch for thicker patties). Make a 2-inch-wide indentation in the center of each with your thumb to prevent the burgers from bulging when being cooked. Set aside.
• Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add onions to the skillet. Start sautéing the onions on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onions begin to soften and brown, about 10 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high, add a splash of water to the pan and continue cooking the onions for 5 more minutes. Remove onions from the skillet.
• Reheat the skillet on medium hot, adding more oil if necessary. Add burgers and cook until browned on each side, 5 minutes per side. More, if making thicker patties. Turn off the heat, add cheese on top of the hot patties and set aside.
• Assemble the burger: bottom bun, layer of spicy mayo, lettuce, tomato, patty with cheese, more spicy mayo, if desired. And finally, add the bacon, completing the assembly with the top bun.
