Holy smokes – these Gochujang Burgers are where it’s at! The kimchi bacon jam is a 10/10 – smoky, sweet, tangy, and just a little bit spicy. As weird as it sounds, a slice of gouda cheese makes the whole thing even more wonderful. All my friends were raving!
How To Make These Gochujang Burgers
Step 1: Make the Kimchi Bacon Jam
I prefer the kimchi in smaller pieces, so I cut it up (along with the bacon).
Fry up the bacon and add the kimchi and brown sugar – this makes a VERY YUMMY, chunky jam-like mixture.
Step 2: Mix the Chicken Burgers
Mix all the ingredients – I usually do this by hand…
…and form into 4 patties.
Step 3: Fry the Burgers
I use a grill pan, and I like these with a slice of Gouda on top. (!!)
Step 4: Assemble the Burgers
Start with toasted buns, mayo, and burgers.
Add kimchi bacon jam and cucumber slices.
And finish with a little tangle of cilantro.
Step 5: Devour!
Ingredients
gochujang chicken burgers
- 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1 lb. ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons gochujang sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- avocado oil or olive oil for frying
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
kimchi bacon jam
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 6 slices bacon, cut into small pieces
- 1 1/2 cups kimchi, cut into small shreddy pieces (my personal preference for texture!)
burger extras
- Cucumber slices
- Cilantro or greens
- Mayo
- Buns
- Cheese (optional I use gouda cheese)
Directions
Step 1
Kimchi Bacon Jam: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the bacon pieces. Fry until golden and crispy and fat has rendered. Drain off some of the oil (optional) and add the kimchi and brown sugar to the pan. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until caramelized and bubbly.
Step 2
Chicken Burgers: Mix the chicken, panko, gochujang, garlic powder, and salt until well-combined. Form into 4-5 burger patties.
Step 3
Make the Burgers: Transfer burgers to a large skillet. Add a swish of avocado oil and pan-fry until golden on the exterior and 160 degrees on the interior.
Step 4
Assemble the Burgers: Toast your buns on the skillet; serve burgers on toasted buns with a layer of kimchi bacon jam, greens of choice, and mayo. So, so good.
