Can I make Greek Chicken Burgers with Tzatziki ahead of time?

Yes! You can mix and form the patties up to 24 hours in advance . Store them covered in the fridge. Cook when ready.

How do I store leftovers?

Keep cooked burgers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days . Store tzatziki separately so the burgers don’t get soggy.

Can I freeze these chicken burger patties?

Absolutely. Freeze uncooked patties on a parchment-lined tray, then transfer to a freezer bag once solid. They’ll keep well for about 2–3 months . Thaw in the fridge overnight before cooking.

What can I use instead of feta?

If feta isn’t your thing, you can try goat cheese (tangy) or shredded mozzarella (milder). It’ll change the flavor, but the burgers will still be tasty.

What if I don’t have coconut oil?

No problem. Olive oil or avocado oil works great for grilling or pan-cooking.
