Instructions

Step 1

1. Oil the grill grates and preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

2. In a medium size bowl, with your hands mix together ground chicken, lime juice, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Be careful not to over handle the mixture. Form chicken mixture into 6 patties and place them on a baking sheet.

Step 3

3. Grill the patties for 14-20 minutes, flipping half-way through. The cooking time depends on how thick your patties are as well as the grill you have. Check the internal temperature of your patties at 14 minutes. It should reach at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
