Shape into 4 patties, about 2 cm thick, and chill for 15 minutes to firm up.
15 min - 3
Mix the cabbage, carrot and lime juice with a pinch of salt for the slaw. In a small bowl stir the mayonnaise with the sweet chilli sauce.
- 4
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Cook the patties 6 minutes each side until golden and cooked through with no pink inside.
12 min - 5
Toast the buns lightly in the pan or under the grill.

Spread the buns with the sweet chilli mayo, add a patty and a pile of slaw and serve.
Tips
- Chicken mince is wet. Chilling the patties makes them easier to cook without falling apart.
- Check a patty is cooked through with no pink and hot all the way through.
- For gluten free, use gluten free buns and breadcrumbs.
Storing and freezing
Keep cooked patties in the fridge for up to 2 days. Freeze uncooked patties for up to 2 months and cook from defrosted. Reheat until steaming hot all the way through.
Questions
Can I use turkey mince?
Yes, it works in the same quantities. Turkey is leaner so add a splash of oil to the mix.
Can I cook them in the oven?
Yes, bake on a lined tray at 200 degrees C for 20 minutes, turning halfway.
Can I make them gluten free?
Yes, swap the buns and panko for gluten free versions.
