Something New: Chicken Grillables

Monday July 6, 2009
Recently the mailman brought me the latest thing from Barber Foods. Chicken patties the size of a hamburger patty designed for the grill (cleverly called chicken grillables) and the bun. Being billed as a healthy alternative to frozen burger patties I was naturally skeptical. Dry and flavorless I figured, but always willing to try most anything.

So on the grill they go. I cooked them the same I would a burger patty, hot and fast, and without any additional seasonings. These grilled up just like any preformed, frozen patty. When cooked through I pulled the chicken patties off the grill. I dressed one up just like I would a burger and another one I cut up for taste testing.

What I found was that these patties were not dry and actually tasted like chicken. On the bun with lettuce, tomatoes, mayo and mustard they tasted very much like a burger.

Chicken Grillables sell in packs of 4 for between $7USD and $8USD at a variety of outlets. If you are looking for a quick meal solution that you can throw on the grill, while also trying to cook up something a little healthier then I would recommend these.
