- 2 ½ tablespoons coconut aminos

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken with panko, scallions, beaten egg, chopped cilantro, ginger, garlic, coconut aminos, sugar, sesame oil, sriracha and a pinch of salt (1/4-1/2 teaspoon). Mix with hands till fully (and evenly) combined and form into 4 patties. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, make the spicy mayo by combining the mayo with the sriracha sauce.
- Prepare, clean, and oil grill grates using a lightly oiled paper towel. Heat to medium-high. Grill for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and grill another 4-5 minutes until fully cooked through (165 degrees F).
- To pan sear - Sear over medium heat for about 6 minutes on the first side, then 4-5 minutes after flipping till cooked to 165F. For air fryer - Fry at 380F for about 12-14 minutes, or until cooked through, flipping halfway through.
- Spread burger buns with spicy mayo, top with butter lettuce, and add mango.
Notes
- Ground chicken thighs are recommended for the best flavor and texture, but all will work. Ground turkey or beef can be substituted as well.
- Add 1-2 teaspoons of sriracha to the burger mixture if you like more heat.
- For gluten free, use a favorite gluten free bun or wrap this in butter lettuce. If you do find GF buns, you can use gluten free panko like Jeff's Creations or Aleia brand (both found on amazon)
