Method
 

Prepare Chicken Mixture
  1. Combine ground chicken with garlic powder, ground ginger, onion powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix in panko breadcrumbs and egg until just combined, then refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Make Teriyaki Sauce
  1. In a saucepan, heat cooking oil over medium heat. Add garlic, sauté for 1 minute. Stir in soy sauce, water, brown sugar, honey, and ginger; simmer for 5 minutes. Add cornstarch slurry until sauce thickens, then remove from heat.
Incorporate Sauce
  1. Mix 3 tablespoons of teriyaki sauce into the chicken mixture. Shape into 4 patties, making an indentation in each.
Cook Burgers
  1. Heat oil in the skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for about 6 minutes, flip and baste with sauce; cook for another 5 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Prepare Slaw
  1. Combine coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, white sugar, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir until blended.
Assemble Burgers
  1. Place a patty on the bottom half of a brioche bun, drizzle with teriyaki sauce, top with slaw, and finish with the top bun.
