Day 3 of my Saucy Mama recipes for their Fab with Five Recipe Challenge! 5 recipes coming to you this week for the contest! Be sure to check out the recipes from earlier this week. For today’s recipe I used the Saucy Mama Sweet Heat marinade both in my burgers and in the topping. The marinade is sweet and spicy and would be great on meat, in salads, and even as a dip! Don’t forget to enter my GIVEAWAY sponsored by Saucy Mama!
These burgers are cute as a button and a great appetizer or main dish. They go great with the sweet potato fries I posted yesterday and also another dish I have coming up tomorrow!

Notes
SNAPPY TIPS: You can make the patties ahead of time and cover tightly and refrigerate until ready to cook. The onion/mango topping can also be made ahead of time and refrigerated.
SNAPPY SUBSTITUTIONS: You could substitute other ground meats for the chicken such as pork, turkey, or beef. If you don’t like mango you could substitute other fruit such as ripe peaches, melon, etc.

Yum! Sounds great. I wouldn’t be able to resist adding cilantro in too…. I love cilantro but I know it’s one of those herbs that folks either love or hate — nothing in between….
(and yes, I’m shamelessly trying to win your giveaway:>)
YES, I would definitely add cilantro! I love cilantro but was limited to 5 ingredients or less (with the exception of oil and salt/pepper) for the contest. Cabbage for a cole slaw would also be a nice addition for the topping. You are of course more than welcome to enter the giveaway!!! That’s why it’s there!
It’s all about chicken sliders today! Gave your recipe a shout out on The Daily Dish
I bet these are fantastic with sweet potato fries….my favorite!
Thanks Kristina!
