Ingredients
For the burger
- 300 g
chicken thigh fillets
- 400 g
raw peeled king prawns
- 4
spring onions, roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp.
cornflour
- 3 tbsp.
sweet chilli sauce, plus extra to serve
- 100 g
sesame seeds, white or a mixture of black and white
-
oil, to grease and rub
- 6
sesame or brioche burger buns, split
For the salad
Directions
-
- Step 1To make the burgers, trim and discard any sinews from the chicken. Roughly chop, then pulse in a food processor with 1/2 the prawns, the spring onions and 11/2tsp fine salt until the mixture resembles mince. Empty into a large bowl. Roughly chop remaining prawns and add to the bowl with the cornflour and sweet chilli sauce. Mix thoroughly (with your hands is easiest). Cover and chill 30min.
- Step 2Put sesame seeds on a small plate. Divide burger mixture equally into 6 balls. Roll each ball gently in the sesame seeds, then shape into flattened patties about 11/2cm thick. Arrange on a lightly greased plate, cover and chill for 1hr to firm up.
- Step 3Meanwhile, make the salad. Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl with some seasoning. Chill until needed (up to 12hr ahead, if covered).
- Step 4Rub the burger patties with a little oil, then barbecue over low heat for 12-15min, turning midway through, or until cooked through. Towards the end of cooking, grill the burger buns (cut-side down), until toasted. Serve the cooked burgers in buns with the slaw and extra sweet chilli sauce.
GET AHEAD: Prepare to end of step 3 up to 12hr ahead. Complete recipe to serve.
