Chicken burgers are generally easy to throw together making them the perfect any-night dinner. These are made with chipotle peppers to give them a little extra kick and lots of flavor. Some of the adobo sauce from the canned chipotles is used to make a sauce for the burgers so that the smokiness really shines through. And there's just enough bread crumbs in the patties to hold them together without drying them out. If you find the mixture is a little wet to work with, wet your hands just sightly—it'll make forming the patties much easier!
