Grilled chicken burger

It was Wednesday and I had super craving for eating a nice non-deep fried burger which is hard to find where I live. So I decided to make one for myself.  After putting little efforts I was happy to realize its so simple to put a juicy chicken burger. Here is my version.

Ingredients:

Marinade:
chicken thighs 1 piece
1 tsp garlic paste
1 tsp salt
1 tsp crushed black pepper
1 tsp oil
2 tsp mix herbs

Spicy caramelized onions:
1 tsp melted butter
1/2 tsp cumin seed powder
1/2 tsp coriander seed powder
1 tsp red chilly powder
1 medium onion cut in julienne style

Sauce mix:
Mayonnaise + Worcestershire sauce  + chilly sauce (as per taste)

Topping:
cheese slice, jalapenos and as per choice.
and most important burger buns :)

Recipe:
Preparing marinade:
- rub salt, black pepper powder, garlic paste and herbs nicely on entire chicken thigh, I often prefer to puncture chicken thigh with knife tip many times so that marinade sticks nicely to eat and makes its way in deep chicken muscle. Also helps cooking faster.
- sprinkle oil on top and coat chicken nicely and kept aside.

Cooking:
- Take a frying pan and put it on medium high heat. Cook chicken nicely till flesh separates from bone.
- take out chicken and cover in aluminium foil.
- In same pan add all ingredients for spicy caramelized onions, and saute them nicely until they are nicely coated and becomes little tender.
- Take off from pan and keep aside.
-Warm up burger buns in this pan, so tat they will soak up all this good flavor nicely.
- Put aside burger buns.
- Shred chicken using forks and knife. Take a portion of this shredded chicken and put in pan,
add cheese slice on top.
- Apply sauce mix generously on burger buns
- As soon as cheese melts, carefully transfer chicken+cheese on burger bun (don't worry melted cheese helps shredded chicken stay together)
- Add your favorite topping, add caramelized spicy onions and enjoy your burger.

You may choose to put more sauce mix on top of chicken, one can adjust hot level by varying chilly sauce and chilly powder.
