"Chicken burgers don't bring a joyous response, yet Jackie Cuscuna and Brian Smith are determined to change that with their new restaurant, Ramblin' Chick, in Brooklyn. The chicken smashburger is the centerpiece of their menu, aiming to carve out a niche in the evolving American burger landscape."
"The burger is made by marinating chicken thighs for 24 hours in a blend of buttermilk, mayonnaise, eggs, honey, vinegar, and spices, then grinding and forming them into patties. Cooked on a hot griddle, the patties are double-stacked with American cheese and caramelized onions, all served in a squishy Martin's potato roll."
"The goal isn't for it to taste like beef; the goal is for it to scratch the same itch that eating a juicy beef smashburger does. The whole thing is built around the idea of that roadside American burger, just through the prism of chicken."

The chicken thighs are marinated and ground, then cooked on a griddle with clarified butter. The burger is double-stacked with American cheese and caramelized onions, served in a potato roll. The aim is not to mimic beef but to provide a similar satisfying experience with chicken.
