Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large bowl, stir together green onions, soy suace, pumpkin-pie spice, thyme, garlic and hot pepper flakes. Cut chicken thighs into 1/2-inch (1 cm) pieces. Add chicken to bowl and toss well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.

2. In a food processor, pulse half of chicken mixture about 12 times or until corasely ground. Tip ground chicken into a large bowl. Repeat with remaining chicken mixture. Form chicken mixture into 6 even-size patties. Preheat barbacue to medium. Oil grill well. Place chicken burgers on grill. With a large spoon, make an indentation in centre of each burger (this helps burgers cook more evenly). Cook chicken burgers for 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until a meat thermometer inserted horizontally into centre of burgers registers 160F (70C).
