These delicious and juicy burgers are cooked in a loaf pan in the oven!
Packed full of flavour, they are so easy to make and the ideal food for a lazy midweek meal.
It’s perfect when you have other chores or errands lined up and everyone is hungry. More so, when they’re all looking at you for food. Know that feeling?
So here is my convenient and tasty tandoori chicken burger. So easy and damn good!
Whenever I make tandoori chicken burgers, my kitchen smells deliciously fragrant and my boys are ridiculously happy.
I’m able to get on with other tasks or simply laze up in front of the tv whilst the chicken cooks in the oven.
The tandoori chicken, once sliced, can be used in burgers, pastas and as a topping for pizzas.
It’s fantastic!
The types of bread buns you use, is based on your family’s favourite. We usually do a variety of white and brown seeded bread buns.
The salads I use, is usually lettuce leaves and red onion slices. My boys do not like tomatoes or cucumber slices in their burgers. Once again if that’s something your family loves, then add that to your burger.
The sauce I make for these juicy burgers is the easiest you’ll ever get.
I use equal amounts of mayonnaise and chili sauce.
My current favourite is the Chicken Licken sauce!
Here goes my recipe for the tandoori chicken.
