Sandi Richard’s easy chicken burgers

 
Ingredients:

2 lbs extra lean ground chicken
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cups fine Italian bread crumbs
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup salt to catch fat drippings in baking tray

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 475 F.

2. Line a baking sheet with foil. Spread 1/3 cup salt over foil and then place a cooling rack over top. (The salt sops up the oil that drizzles from the burgers. You don’t end up with heavy smoke from the high temperature.)

3. Combine everything in a big bowl. Make sure it’s mixed together really well!

4. Loosely form 6 burgers and place on cooling rack. Place pan in center of preheated oven and set timer for 20 minutes.
