tastes like...chicken :P0

I like grilling them on the George Forman with some red and yellow peppers and white or red onion0
-
I think they're delicious but the ones we had weren't any lower calorie than regular burgers.0
-
If you're talking about the ones from Burger King, I don't know but I intend to find out.0

Home made, fast food, ma & pa, gourmet?

Feeling scared now. Sis took it upon herself to buy chicken burgers and they say 170 cals. Could that be false?0 -

Sure. I also really like tuna steak burgers and burgers without buns. That said, all burgers have their place, including the traditional kind. I normally make them at home, since the calories are lower.0

They are delicious if you make them yourself. I use 500g chicken mince (ground chicken...if you're American or elsewhere in the world), 2 eggs, 1 carrot, 1 onion (sautee with garlic prior to adding to pattie mix), 1tbs Worcestershire sauce, and a good large pinch of hot paprika. you can totally use chilli instead, but I am allergic to hot chillies.
Roll and then flatten into your patties, cook, and have with turkish bread or whatever you want, a ton of salad, and I use a dollop of greek yoghurt as a sour-cream substitute sauce. When I'm naughty I also use BBQ sauce. They're a little spicy, but totally delicious.
Yum yum yum!0 -
Yes! I make buffalo chicken burgers. Ground chicken, green onion, wheat bread crumbs, skim milk, blue cheese, salt, pepper, garlic. Mix it all up and grill it up!0

I've never had store bought chicken burgers, but I like homemade ones.0

170 cal may be good depending on the weight. If you already have them, eat them. If the cals are too high with a bun, put some cottage cheese on top and eat it with a salad.
Check the nutrition and ingredient labels. Not all burgers are created equal, and most have a high salt content.

If the chicken is fillet then yes. If it's the mashed up processed chicken then no they are horrible0

All fillets are processed. Any boneless chicken is. Are you confused about the meaning of "processed." All the meat (most bone-in) I get from a local farm is processed, because they go to a processor and are chopped up, as required by state law. I don't get a whole chicken and if I demanded it, it would still be broken into parts and without its feathers because state law.
Do you really kill your own chickens? And think people who do not are nutritionally-deprived? If not, yeah, you eat processed food, like the vast majority of us.0 -

By "mashed up processed chicken" you're thinking of chicken patties or cutlets, which yeah, are mostly not great. Burgers would mean that the chicken is ground up in the same fashion as hamburger.0 -

She's simply stating she prefers the meat whole and not ground to paste. Why go on a rant over it? I also prefer the taste and texture of a chicken burger/sandwich made with a larger piece of chicken rather than a ground patty.0 -
The deli at the grocery store at the bottom of the road has THE BEST Thai Chicken Curry burgers I've ever tasted.0

food labels can't be deliberately false without significant ramifications...there is some lattitude for estimation error, but they can't be blatantly false.
the calorie content is going to depend on the weight as well as the % of fat in the chicken...fillers (which you should probably take a look at...a lot of those pre-packaged patties and whatnot are mostly fillers, not actual meat), etc.
my local grocery store sells ground chicken in bulk...it's 93% which when compared to ground beef @ 93% is not much different in RE to calories or other nutrients.0 -
I don't like the texture of ground chicken but the taste is just chicken and whatever you add to it. Just try it and then you'll know if you like it.
Is this just raw ground chicken or a breaded frozen chicken patty? I think 170 calories sounds reasonable for plain ground chicken. If you cook it in oil or add things to it then the calories will go up.0 -
Yes. I prefer them over turkey burgers.0

Funny that this thread was bumped today, as it turns out that I'm actually having a homemade one for dinner today.0

C'mon, I know that you know that tasaiar1 meant Ultra Processed like Chicken McNuggets and not Minimally Processed like de-feathered etc.0 -
I think they are tasty, but I don't use them as a substitution for the real deal. They are what they are...0

Yes.0

I make turkey burgers, I put olives and dried tomatoes with garlic and coriander in a processor, make a paste then mix with turkey mince, super low cal and sooo tasty!0
