These patties come preshaped and seasoned.
Options for types of store-bought chicken burgers vary.
Others are as simple as possible and want to be dressed up with your favorite condiments and accouterments.

Why not get creative with them?
These burgers make a great salad topper, for example.
Or you could chop them up and add them to fried rice, pasta, or even a stir-fry.

Here’s how my chicken burger taste test went, including which brand’s poultry patty reigns supreme.
I’ve ranked the burgers in descending order from my least favorite to my top pick.
They are also the easiest to find around the country.

Unfortunately, they were lacking in the flavor and texture department.
Instead, the uncooked burgers are pale and bland looking out of the box.
The taste: Unfortunately, the taste didn’t make up for the blah looks of these burgers.

You’d definitely want to pile on the condiments if you’re serving these chicken burgers.
However, unlike the rest of the frozen patties on this list, they are refrigerated.
I also noticed that some white protein leaked out of the burgers while they cooked.

The taste: The burgers taste like, well, chicken.
Despite the high sodium content, I didn’t find the meat to be overly seasoned.
In fact, I’d want to add some extra seasoning to spice the burgers up a bit.
This would be a great afterschool snack to keep on hand.
It’s high in protein, low in fat, and lightning-fast to prepare.
The look:The Don Lee Farms burgers are the smallest and thinnest of the bunch.
Inside the patty, the meat is uniformly white.
They’re slightly sweet, which is probably due to the inclusion of onion and a touch of sugar.
The texture is soft and crumbly, not at all dense or tight.
