Method
In a large bowl use a large metal spoon to vigorously mix the chicken, chopped chives, egg, grated cheddar breadcrumbs and a little salt and pepper until throughly combined. Using clean hands form the mixture into 4 large flat patties, wrap each patty in a slice of bacon. Line a plate or tray with baking paper, transfer the bacon wrapped patties to the tray and cover and refrigerate until you're ready to cook them. Preheat a BBQ hot plate or a large heavy frying pan to a medium heat. Uncover the patties and spray both sides with a little olive oil. Cook for about 4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked right through. Serve at once in toasted buns, with tomato, lettuce red onion and your favourite tomato relish.
Tip you can make miniature versions of these delicious burgers to serve with relish as a canape.
