Chicken meatballs are pretty darn good. But bringing a smashburger approach to the party will allow the burger to seared and crispy, adding extra layers of flavor. It is the best of both worlds: meatballs and burgers.

Chicken patties are great … in theory. However, the sad grocery store frozen pucks never quite check the box.
