    Ingredients

    • 1 piece lb. ground chicken
    • 0.50 cup panko breadcrumbs
    • 2 tbsp gochujang sauce (I use this one)
    • 0.50 tsp garlic powder
    • 1 tsp coarse kosher salt
    • 1 to taste avocado oil or olive oil for frying
    • 6 piece bacon, cut into small pieces
    • 1 piece 1/2 cups kimchi, cut into small shreddy pieces (my personal preference for texture!)
    • 2 tbsp brown sugar
    • 1 to taste Buns
    • 1 to taste Cheese (optional – I use gouda cheese)
    • 1 to taste Cilantro or greens
    • 1 to taste Mayo
    • 1 to taste Cucumber slices

    Instructions

    1. 1

      In a large skillet over medium heat, add the bacon pieces. Fry until golden and crispy and fat has rendered. Drain off some of the oil (optional) and add the kimchi and brown sugar to the pan. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until caramelized and bubbly.

    2. 2

      Mix the chicken, panko, gochujang, garlic powder, and salt until well-combined. Form into 4-5 burger patties.

    3. 3

      Transfer burgers to a large skillet. Add a swish of avocado oil and pan-fry until golden on the exterior and 165 degrees on the interior.

    4. 4

      Toast your buns on the skillet; serve burgers on toasted buns with a layer of kimchi bacon jam, greens of choice, and mayo. So, s0 good.
