Juicy chicken burgers with aged Norvegia cheese

Burgers for two:

• Two burgers made from chicken thighs (Kyllinggården from Meny)
• 6 slices of aged Norvegia cheese (9 months to 3 years)
• Propper burger buns
• 1 yellow onion
• 1/2 red onion
• 2 spring onions 
• Pickles
• Fresh dill
• Burger dressing of choice
• American Yellow mustard
• Flaked sea salt
• Ground pepper
• Curry powder
• Olive oil

I use these. Meat from the chicken thighs makes for really juice burgers. Alternatively you could buy boneless thighs and grind them into burgers yourself. 

How to do it

Set oven to 220 degrees Celcius.

Caramelized onions
Finely chop yellow onion in half circles. Caramelize the onion by heating olive oil in a pan at medium heat. I use 6 of 9 on mine. Stir onion in the pan util soft golden brown. This will take you about 20 minutes, but it’s worth the wait. Slow and low.

Burgers
Heat olive oil in a pan using medium+ heat. I use 7 of 9 on my stove. Let the pan get properly warm before cooking.

​Season the burgers with flaked sea salt, curry powder and ground pepper on both sides.
Fry in hot pan, 4 minutes on both sides. Take it of the heat and add slices of cheese. Put pan in pre heated oven and let the cheese melt. It takes about 4-5 minutes.
It's important that the burgers are cooked all the way through. Let burgers rest for 3-4 minutes.

Toast buns in oven until golden.

Assemble the burgers
Start with the bun. Add your preferred burger dressing and add caramelized onions, finely sliced red onions and pickles. Place burger on top. Add fresh dill, pepper and American yellow mustard. Finish with chopped spring onions and enjoy :)
