Chicken burger
Chicken burger
Some establishments serving hamburgers also serve chicken burgers, giving customers an alternative to beef and is served on a hamburger bun with similar condiments and toppings as found on hamburgers.[1] While most chicken burgers in this context usually use fried or grilled chicken breasts, a chicken burger may also be made of a grilled or fried patty of ground chicken.[2]
History
Chick-fil-A claims that it invented the fried chicken burger in the 1940s. This claim is unsubstantiated, although the Chick-fil-A southern-style chicken burger (served with pickles on a steamed roll), introduced on March 21, 1964, was most likely the first chicken burger introduced by an American fast food restaurant chain.[3] Other notable vendors of chicken burgers include KFC and Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen. Today, most major fast food, fast casual and casual dining chains feature some variation of chicken burger, even at fast food restaurants where chicken is not a specialty.
