Crispy Chicken Burgers

If a good burger costs more than 150 bucks and there are rumors about your favorite fast food chain producing burgers that do not decompose and using chicken meat which is man made, when you are concerned about your family's health and don't want your kids to eat junk food all the time prepared by total strangers.. It's time you make your own juicy/crispy burgers at home!

These burgers are healthy, and you know exactly what is going inside. Plus they look as scrumptious as any of these or these without causing a hole in your pocket paying for too many calories and too little nutrients! Just few simple ingredients and you have a quick and delicious meal ready for the kiddos.

The star of this recipe is Nona's Kentucky Hot and Spicy Recipe. I use Nona Seasoned Flour pretty often. A wide range of Nona's products are widely available in all big grocery stores.
