Notes

Mixing by hand ensures all the ingredients are evenly distributed, leading to a much more flavourful burger.
Chilling the burgers is a crucial step that many home cooks skip. It helps them firm up, preventing them from falling apart on the grill and ensuring they cook more evenly.
Ensure your grill is properly preheated before adding the burgers. This helps create a lovely sear on the outside and prevents them from sticking. Overcrowding the grill can also lower its temperature, leading to uneven cooking.
