- [Narrator] Welcome to BBQPitBoys.com.
Today we're cooking us some sriracha chicken
shrimp burgers at the pit, and they're real easy to do.
Alright, just as we said,
we're doing chicken and shrimp burgers.
So here we've got some
boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
You know all about these.
Readily available, fairly inexpensive,
and what we're doing here is we're chopping them up.
The best way we found is use some cleavers.
You could use a meat grinder, of course,
but then the texture would be entirely different.
So to get the texture right for this,
we're using our meat cleavers.
And chop them up real good, just like that.
Alright.
So now, this recipe calls for some shrimp.
Here we have one pound
of de-veined and shelled shrimp.
We're gonna incorporate it right into that chicken mash.
Chop it up real good and real fine.
Oh, man.
Now, if you've never had
sriracha chicken shrimp burgers before,
you definitely gotta check this out.
This'll kick it up at your pit for some real good eating.
Alright.
So
the shrimp and the chicken
have been incorporated.
I told you it'd be easy to do, right?
So now, what we gotta do is add some fat
because essentially there is not fat
in the chicken breasts and the shrimp.
We're gonna add some fat and oil
by using some mayonnaise.
We got three or four tablespoons in there, and that'll work.
Oh, man.
This is gonna be good.
Now, some of you might be asking, well,
are the shrimp and the chicken gonna cook evenly?
Well, when you mash it up like this,
you're gonna get a perfect blend of shrimp and chicken.
In fact, much of this, because of the shrimp,
is gonna taste like shrimp.
Oh man, it's good.
You definitely gotta check it out, like I said.
So we're gonna make three burgers out of this.
So abut 1 1/3 pound each,
about a total of four pounds there.
You can make these as big or small as you want.
That's pit master privilege,
but this is kind of the perfect size.
(upbeat music)
We blend them a little bit more just like that.
(upbeat music)
Oh man, are you kidding me?
(upbeat music)
Alright,
the burger patties have been made.
Mm, good.
And of course, we're doing sriracha chicken,
so it's chicken approved.
(upbeat music)
Now, we're gonna flavor these a bit more.
Here we have some seasoning sticks.
These are actually sriracha-flavored seasoning sticks.
We're gonna insert maybe three or four into each patty
just like that.
You look around, you might find these available
at your local store, or you might get them online.
Sounds like some vegomatic called the food police.
That's typical, of course.
Again, just insert these sticks.
These are butter, garlic, and sriracha flavored.
They're gonna add a ton of flavor to these burgers.
I'm telling you.
Now these are not hard sticks.
They will melt into the burger.
'Cause I know some of you are already going,
well, do have to remove the sticks?
No, they're not toothpicks.
They will melt into the burger as it cooks.
Alright, we've prepped our camp grill,
put some oil on it,
and we're gonna grill these over direct heat.
It won't take long.
You wanna cook them slow
so it all comes together real nice.
I can smell it already.
Can you smell that?
It smells good.
Oh, baby.
Alright, about five minutes or so has gone by.
It may take you a bit longer or less
depending on how hot your coals are.
We're gonna give them a flip
just like that, and we wanna cook these
to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit,
or about 74 degrees Celsius.
Alright, here, we're just lowering the rack
to get a little more heat.
Now, let's make up a little sriracha mayo
for the bread.
Oh, man, easy enough to do, right?
And in the miracle of time,
these sriracha chicken burgers are done.
I say it's time to eat.
Look at that.
I'm telling you, you better make a bunch of these.
They're gonna go quick.
And of course, we do apologize for eating
in front of you like this,
but we call this pit master privilege.
(upbeat music)
Let us show you what one of these look like
on the inside 'cause you're gonna ask, right?
Take a look at that.
Like I said, chicken approved.
