HERB CHICKEN BURGERS

Steps:

• Make the lemon mayo: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and chives. Wrap the bowl in plastic wrap and set aside until you are ready to assemble your burgers.
• Preheat the grill and add oil: Preheat the grill for direct heat grilling, by turning gas burners to medium-high or spreading charcoal coals so there is direct heat under the grilling grates. The temperature should be 450-500˚F. To make sure the burgers do not stick, dip a clean kitchen towel or some paper towels in oil and use tongs to quickly rub down grill grates. Alternatively, you can spray the grates with spray oil, but be careful of flare-ups.
• Grill the buns: Grill the plain buns for 20 seconds and remove from the grill.
• How to store and reheat leftovers: Leftover chicken burgers keep well in the fridge for 3-4 days. They reheat really well in the microwave on high for 1 minute.
