Jamaican Jerk Chicken Burgers are a delicious way to spice up burger night! Thanks to classic jerk spices these chicken burgers are loaded with Carribean flavor and are anything but boring. Perfect for summer grilling season (or any time you want a really good burger) my Jamaican Jerk Burgers are bold,spicy and big on flavor.

The secret to keeping these chicken burgers juicy is a bit of panko bread crumbs as well as some Worcestershire sauce. I like to add a bit of heat to these Jamaican jerk burgers with a few splashes of my favorite habenero hot sauce but feel free to leave that out for a milder burger. An easy scallion mayo tames the heat and a bit of shredded cabbage adds some crunch. If you want to customize your jerk chicken burgers with different toppings a slice of grilled pineapple, mango salsa, avocado or cilantro lime cole slaw would all be delicious.
