I couldn’t let 4th of July pass without making a good old American burger, well my spicy sriracha burger. For me a good burger is all about balancing different textures and tastes. One that meets the criteria gives you the perfect bite of juicy, creamy, crunchy and of course spicy!
This spicy sriracha burger is no exception. I combined a tender beef patty with sweet caramelized onions, crisp greens, crunchy potato chips and a spicy sriracha aioli. All that goodness nestled in between a fluffy sesame bun. This will definitely be a showstopper at your 4th of July barbecue!
Of course, no one is stopping you from making this recipe all year round too.
