Directions

• In a saucepan, add the soy sauce, ketchup, light brown sugar, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, grated fresh ginger, grated garlic, cayenne pepper, rice vinegar and black pepper.
• Turn the heat to medium and whisk the mixture until the brown sugar is dissolved.
• Bring the mixture to a slight boil and then reduce the heat to simmer and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes, until it has thickened up slightly and reduced.
• Transfer the sauce to a bowl and let cool for about 15 minutes.
• In a large bowl, add the ground chicken breast, kosher salt, black pepper, grated sweet onion and 2 tablespoons of the cooled Huli Huli sauce.
• Form the mixture into patties (it will be a bit of a wet mixture) and let firm up in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
• Heat the grill or a grill pan to medium high and lightly grease the grill with the canola oil.
• Add the chicken burger patties and grill on each side for about 5 – 7 minutes.
• When the chicken burger is flipped, brush the burgers with some of the reserved Huli Huli sauce.
• Flip the burger for another minute and let the sauce caramelize while you brush the other side.
• While the burgers are grilling, also grill the onion rings and pineapple slices.
• Remove the grilled onions and pineapple to a plate.
• When the burgers are cooked through, remove them from the grill and let them rest, tented with a bit of foil for about 10 minutes.
• Lightly toast the Pepperidge Farm Hearty Buns Rustic Potato Buns until they are light golden brown.
• Lightly spread a bit of the Huli Huli sauce to the bottom of the potato bun and add some fresh baby spinach.
• Add some of the grilled sweet onion rings and then nestle a chicken burger on top.
• Add a grilled pineapple ring and more Huli Huli sauce if you would like.
• Top with the toasted potato bun and serve.
• Enjoy!
