I don’t have a video for this recipe.
If I had a photo, I would most certainly use it. That is... unless the photo I have sucks. For now, you'll just have to picture a big heaping helping of
Korean UFO Chicken Burgers
...in your mind.

Korean UFO Chicken Burgers

We absolutely love these UFO burgers - and this Cripsy Korean chicken version might be my fav so far. If you don't have a machine, no prob, just make em normal. And if you want one, here's the one I use - it's not sponsored, but we love it and so far it's worked great.
