Directions
Prepare cucumber relish first by dissolving Sugar in vinegar.

Add remaining ingredients and stir well.

Allow to sit at room temperature for at least half an hour.

Prepare satay sauce by mixing all ingredients until smooth; set aside.

To prepare burgers, whisk together Peanut butter with Tabasco and chicken broth until blended.

Check ground Chicken to be sure it isn't very wet; if it is, blot it with paper toweling.

In another bowl, stir up Chicken with garlic, cilantro, mint, and salt, squeezing mixture with your hands to incorporate ingredients.

Stir Peanut butter mixture into Chicken mixture and blend until smooth.

Form into four thick patties.

Cook patties on grill or in skillet for about 4 minutes on each side or until cooked through.

Serve burgers on either buns or warmed flour tortillas, with satay sauce and spicy cucumber relish.
