~ CASSIES AWESOME ASIAN CHICKEN BURGERS ~

Steps:

• 1. Make sauce : Whisk all sauce ingredients until smooth. Cover & refrigerate until ready to use.
• 2. In a food processor, add chicken breast and pulse until chicken is ground. ( Or can buy already ground chicken. ) Place in a small bowl. Shred carrots, green onion and garlic in food processor. Add to chicken. Next, add the ginger, soy, sesame oil, ginger, vinegar and mix until well blended.
• 3. The chicken burgers can either be grilled or broiled. If grilling you will need a grill pan as it is a loose mixture. Spray the grill pan, divide meat mixture in half, shape patties once on the pan. Salt and pepper. Place on rack over medium heat on grill and cook for 6 minutes, then flip to other side and cook another 6 minutes or until juices run clear.
• 4. I broiled mine today. Spray broiler pan with non stick cooking spray and divide meat mixture in half and pat out meat mixture in the shape of a patty once on pan. Salt & pepper. Place rack in oven about 4 - 6 inches below heat. Cook for 6 - 8 minutes on one side and flip to the other and finish cooking until juices run clear.
• 5. Butter your bread or bun and toast either on grill or in broiler - I toasted mine right beside the patties. Spread sauce on bottom and top pieces of bread or bun. Add desired condiments. Enjoy! So good!

ASIAN INSPIRED CHICKEN TENDERS ~ CASSIES

Steps:

• For the sauce: In a medium saucepan, whisk all of the ingredients together. Bring to a boil and simmer until slightly thickening. It won't be a thick sauce. Thickens a bit more as it cools. So, it's great to make this ahead to give it more time to thicken, plus for he flavors to have time to mesh. This sauce is delish..Can use it t drizzle over the chicken or as a dipping sauce on the side.
• For the tenders: If you have a turkey fryer to use, works great for making many tenders at once. If not use a frying pan with enough oil that the chicken can float. Place 2 cups of flour in a bowl or shallow dish. Add the pepper and seasoning salt. Add other spices if you like too. In another dish, whisk eggs until well blended, whisk in the flour, oil and milk.
• Season your chicken - I used onion and garlic powder, some kosher salt and pepper. Toss to evenly season.
• Once oil is hot - dip chicken into egg mixture, let excess batter drip off and then coat in the flour mixture. Place in hot oil, making sure not to over crowd. I did 10 at a time, in the turkey fryer. Depends what type of pan or fryer you're using. When they float, they are done...Drain on paper towels, then season with salt if preferred. Plate and either dip or drizzle the chicken with the sauce - or as my daughter likes it as a dipping sauce on the side.
• Enjoy these delicious tenders and sauce - they are so very good. The sauce is super.
