Crispy Chilli Chicken Burger
This is one of the best burgers I have ever had. The chicken is juicy and delicious and the crispy chilli oil, I don't have the words to describe how good that is. Add in the mayonnaise, fresh cabbage and coriander leaves (not photographed above as this is my sons burger and he doesn't like coriander, but is is on mine below) this is one of the best flavour combinations you will ever try.
