    Ground chicken with egg, diced bell pepper and onion, and breadcrumbs in a bowl to make chicken burgers with teriyaki sauce.
  • Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
    Four formed chicken burgers on a sheet pan.
  • Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grates. Grill burgers for 5–6 minutes per side or until internal temp reaches 165°F. Brush with teriyaki sauce during the last 1–2 minutes.
    ¼-½ cup Teriyaki sauce
  • Skillet: Heat a drizzle of oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook burgers for 5–6 minutes per side. Brush with teriyaki sauce toward the end of cooking. The burgers are done when the internal temperature is 165°F.
  • Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly grease it. Bake burgers for 20–22 minutes, flipping halfway through. Brush with teriyaki sauce during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  • Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 370 degrees. Lightly mist the basket with oil or use a parchment air-fryer liner. Place patties in a single layer, leaving a little space around each one. Cook 6 minutes, then flip. Brush with teriyaki sauce and cook another 6–8 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer in the center hits 165 °F. Brush again during the final 1–2 minutes.
  • While burgers cook, grill or sear pineapple rings for 1–2 minutes per side until lightly caramelized.
    4 Pineapple Rings
  • Toast the buns if desired. Spread mayo on the bottom bun, add the teriyaki chicken burger, top with a grilled pineapple ring, and add the top bun.
    Mayonnaise, 4 Burger Buns

Notes

  • Do not overcook the burgers.
  • Store leftover burgers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • You can freeze the burgers before cooking or after for up to 3 months. I like to double-bag them in Ziplock bags.
