Method

  1. Make the sauce and marinade by mixing everything together in a large bowl, then put a few spoonfuls aside. Slice halfway into the thickest part of each breast and open it up like a book. Flatten down slightly with your hand, then toss in the bowlful of marinade to coat. Chill for as little, or as long, as you have time to.
  2. Barbecue the chicken for about 10 mins until completely cooked through, turning so it doesn't burn but is nicely charred and sticky. Cook the bacon at the same time until crisp, if using, and toast the buns. Assemble the burgers with lettuce, slices of tomato, onion and the reserved sauce on the side for dolloping on top.

    Followed the method exactly. Used free range chicken breasts and cut them in the thickest part and flattened them as recommended. Left in the fridge to marinate overnight. Absolutely yum!! All the kids and adults loved them and also served with blue cheese dressing Delia Smith recipe. Highly recommended and the marinate is cheap and easy to make.

    Very tasty but left out the bacon as far too salty otherwise - and too full of fat.
