America’s favourite sandwich has come a long way. From roadside diners on Route 66 to global domination brought to you by huge fast food chains. The burger is now truly international. But the journey is far from over. Today you’ll find gourmet burger joints popping up all over Malaysia, serving mouth-watering burgers to adoring crowds. The old idea that burgers were greasy heart stoppers is out of date, too. If the right ingredients are used, cooked the right way, a burger can be a really healthy snack. This chicken burger recipe is our contribution to the healthy cause.
Let’s talk ingredients. Our chicken burger recipe has three essentials: QL Omega eggs, Figo Chicken Slices and burger buns. QL Omega eggs come from healthy chickens given all-natural feed 100% free from artificial chemicals or preservatives. The eggs contain 50% less cholesterol than standard eggs and are boosted with extra omega-3. Figo Chicken Slices are made from high quality chicken meat lightly seasoned with onion and black pepper. The protein content of the Figo Chicken Slices is much higher than standard slices because of its surimi (a healthy fish protein) content, which means you will be fuller for longer. The type of burger buns you use is a personal choice.
