1. Peel the red onion and chop it finely.

2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped onion, 500g or 1.1lb of chicken mince, 20g or 0.7oz of fresh parsley leaves, 3 cloves of garlic minced, 2 teaspoons of sambal oelek, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix everything well with your hands or a wooden spoon until just combined.

3. Wet your hands under cold running water, then shape the mixture into 6 equal-sized patties, roughly 1.5cm or 0.6in thick.

4. To pan-fry the patties, heat about 2 tablespoons of oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat, around 180°C or 350°F. Fry the patties for 7-8 minutes per side, or until they're cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 74°C or 165°F.

5. To grill the patties, brush them lightly with oil on both sides. Preheat your grill to medium heat, about 180°C or 350°F. Grill the patties for 7-8 minutes per side, or until they're cooked through and slightly charred.

6. Garnish each burger with a sprig of parsley and serve warm with your choice of sides, such as baked potatoes, a refreshing tzatziki sauce, or in a toasted hamburger bun with your favorite dressing and salad.
