- 0.25 cup feta finely crumbled
- 0.25 cup kalamata olives finely diced

Instructions
- Make the patties: If using whole chicken thighs, finely chop or grind them. Combine the chicken with all patty ingredients in a large bowl and mix just until evenly combined.
- Shape: Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape into burger-sized patties. If you like you can use a 13 cm / 5 inch ring mold for extra precision.
- Cook: The patties can be cooked in a lightly oiled skillet or on a barbecue over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side, turning once, until well browned and cooked through with internal temperature of 75 °C / 165 °F.
Notes
The cook time estimates are assuming you may be cooking the burgers in batches. If you cook them all at once then it will take about 10 minutes.
