Get ready to indulge in the flavors of Oktoberfest with this mouthwatering Oktoberfest Maple Mustard Chicken Burger! Combining the tangy sweetness of maple syrup and Dijon mustard with juicy ground chicken, melted Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and crispy fried onions, this burger is a symphony of German-inspired deliciousness.
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, salt, pepper, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix the ingredients gently until they are just combined, being careful not to overmix.
2. Divide the chicken mixture into 4 equal patties, shaping them into perfect burger form.
3. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), ensuring they are cooked through.
4. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each patty and let it melt.
5. Place the cheesy chicken patties on the toasted pretzel or hamburger buns. Top each burger with a generous helping of sauerkraut and crispy fried onions.
6. If desired, drizzle the burgers with extra maple syrup and Dijon mustard. Serve the Oktoberfest Maple Mustard Chicken Burgers warm and enjoy this unique flavor combination.
To truly embrace the Oktoberfest spirit, pair this Oktoberfest Maple Mustard Chicken Burger with a cold, refreshing German beer like a Hefeweizen or Märzen. For non-alcoholic options, a crisp apple cider or a rich, creamy root beer would also complement the flavors beautifully.
