🛒 Start with the Star: SMF Chicken Burgers

🔥 Step 1: Master the Grill

Before you start stacking, let’s talk grilling technique:

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grates.

2. Grill burgers for 4–5 minutes per side until internal temp hits 165°F.

3. Let rest for 3–5 minutes after grilling to lock in moisture.

Pro Tip: Don’t press the patties while cooking—you’ll lose all those tasty juices!

🧀 Step 2: Choose Your Cheese Wisely

Chicken burgers love a cheese that melts well and adds a punch of flavor:

• Smoked gouda for richness

• Sharp cheddar for classic bite

• Pepper jack for a spicy kick

• Mozzarella + pesto for an Italian twist

Melt your cheese during the last 1–2 minutes of grilling for a gooey finish.

Balance the warmth of the grilled burger with crisp, fresh ingredients:

• Lettuce or arugula for crunch

• Tomato slices for juiciness

• Red onion or pickled onions for tang

• Avocado for creamy texture

• Coleslaw for Southern flair
