Sweet & Sticky Chicken Burger

As Jessica Copeland, the creator of this recipe, writes: “This is truly better than takeout and so easy to make!” Pair it with a side of crispy fries or a fresh salad drizzled with your fave Epicure dressing for a restaurant quality meal. If you have time, let your cooked chicken rest before assembling the burger. This ensures a juicier bite, while you use the downtime to prep your chosen burger fixings!
