Homemade Spicy Chicken Burger


it's so easy to just go and buy McD (especially for me, because it's just a 2 min walk from home) or if you have a family or on a tight budget, you'd figure it out that buying Ramly is a better deal than the expensive McD. however, what people choose to ignore (because of convenience and time constraint) is the fact that those burgers are loaded with extra calories - from the animal fat and all the other parts of the animal, MSG and god knows how much more alien sounding preservatives are added.

i was tempted to buy at McD, but instead i made my way to MaxValu and bought some minced chicken, low fat cheddar cheese and some organic lettuce. i made my own recipe, loosely following jamie oliver's recipe - which calls for some breadcrumbs and some ground onion. my own concoction is as follows

some minced chicken
toasted cumin and coriander seeds, ground
chilli powder
hungarian paprika powder
some fresh breadcrumbs
chopped onions
salt

if you find that your meat mixture is dry, then add in an egg to bind everything together. shape the meat into patties and grill.
