Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds ground chicken thigh meat

• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1/4 cup diagonally sliced green onions
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Grilling and Assembly

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (400°F) or get a grill pan hot over medium heat. Combine the chicken mixture and form into 4 patties. Rub with oil and press a deep dimple into the center of each burger. Grill, covered, turning once halfway through, until cooked all the way, about 10 minutes total. Meanwhile, mix the kimchi slaw ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside. Assemble the burgers by topping each with the slaw mixture and a dollop of spicy mayonnaise.
