Chipotle Chicken Bacon Burgers
The Chicken Burger That Finally Has Something to Say for Itself
Chicken burgers have a reputation problem, and this one fixes it. Ground chicken gets packed with minced bell pepper, jalapeño, cilantro, green onion, crushed garlic, ground chipotle pepper, and cumin, then folded with crumbled Jones Dairy Farm Dry Aged Bacon before hitting the grill. The patties cook in 8 minutes, and the whole thing gets finished with a chipotle mayo spread and a full strip of bacon on top.

- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
- 6 burger buns, split and toasted
