Spicy Hawaiian Burgers

This was the first time we've made chicken burgers...they were good! Very similar to turkey burgers. Make sure you grill them until they are done - no medium rare with chicken! These aren't overly spicy (my almost 3 year old scarfed hers) but feel free to use a different cheese! We put a spicy BBQ sauce on ours and they were delicious!! You could bump up the heat too - add cayenne pepper or some chopped jalapenos!

Spicy Hawaiian Burgers

2lbs ground chicken
6 pineapple rings
6 slices pepper jack cheese
6 hamburger buns
1/4C soy sauce
1tsp smoked paprika
1tsp chili powder
1/2tsp season salt
1/2tsp ground cumin
1/2tsp garlic powder

Combine the ground chicken, soy sauce, 1/2 the paprika, 1/2 the chili powder, season salt, cumin and garlic. Lightly mix with your hands (it'll be very messy and sticky) and divide into 6 even balls. Form patties and sprinkle with the remaining paprika and chili powder. Refrigerate about 30 minutes.
Grill burgers over medium heat about 6 minutes per side. Top with cheese for the last 1-2 minutes. For the pineapple, grill directly on the grates. Carefully turn after 1-2 minutes. 1
