This is a variation on cornflake crusted chicken burger where I have simplified the breading a bit and combined the burger with a tasty smoky aioli.

It's an easy burger to cook in the oven and prepare in general. I usually cook everything in the oven and then place leftover burgers in the fridge or freezer and then defrost and heat up either in the oven or airfryer. With a burger in the oven, some fries in the airfryer and quickly buttered hamburger buns in a frying pan, you get a full meal easily.

I usually make the aioli first and then let it sit and marinate in the fridge for a while. You can definitely eat it straight away, but it gets even better after it has rested for a while.

In the picture you can see a combination of burger accessories I usually choose: Lettuce, tomato, pickled red onion and pickled cucumber - nothing more is needed. I also take about 125g of thin french fries "pommes strips" which I heat quickly in the air fryer with a little salt.

Tip 1: When handling minced chicken, it usually gets quite sticky. I use thin gloves and usually have running water in a thin stream from the tap. With the help of a little water from time to time, it is easy to shape the steaks without the minced meat sticking to my hands.

Tip 2: To weigh out 125g for each steak, I usually place the bowl with the pre-mixed minced chicken on the scale, set it to zero and then take out the minced meat until the scale says the value is negative (i.e. -125g). This way you avoid having to put the minced meat on the scale directly and dirty it unnecessarily.
