GUIDE / INSTRUCTIONS

Place Pattie ingredients in a bowl, mix well with hands.
Form 4 patties, 1.5cm / 3/5″ thick, slightly larger than the buns. If the mixture is super sticky, either refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes or wet hands or lightly spray hands with oil.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties, working in batches. Cook for 2 minutes or until deep golden, then flip.
After 2 minutes, top with a piece of cheese and place lid on to melt the cheese.
Once the cheese is melted, remove patties from skillet.
Split buns and lightly toast in oven or under broiler/grill.
Cut avocado in half, scoop out a generous amount then “smash” it on the base of the bun with a fork. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Top with Chicken Pattie, then rocket/arugula and tomato.
Smear the top bun with mayonnaise (or relish, ketchup, other condiments of choice) and place lid on a bun.
