- 2 Tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup fresh mint chiffonade

Instructions
- Make cucumber salsa by combining the cucumber, red onion, rice vinegar, sugar and mint in a bowl. Stir and set aside.
- Place garlic cloves and peeled fresh ginger in the bowl of a food processor and process until minced. Add chicken thighs and pulse until the chicken is chopped - think ground beef consistency. Add peanut butter, soy sauce, chives and pepper to bowl and pulse a couple times to stir. Form the chicken mixture into eight burger patties and place on a baking sheet. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Heat grill to medium and coat grill rack with plenty of oil or line grill rack with foil. Spray top of chicken patty with canola or olive spray. Place sprayed side down on the grill. Cook for 5 minutes or until charred and meat is set. Spray top of patties, flip and cook on remaining side until semi-firm when pressed with finger, but not rock hard. While burgers are cooking, toast buns.
- Spread mayo on top bun and top with shredded lettuce. Place burgers on bottom buns. Top with cucumber salsa. Cover with lettuce topped bun and enjoy!
