Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, gochujang, minced garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix until well combined.
  2. Divide the chicken mixture into 4 to 6 equal portions, shaping into patties about ½ inch thick with a slight indentation in the center.
  3. Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until golden-brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. In a skillet, cook bacon slices until crispy, about 5-6 minutes. Chop bacon; in the same skillet, sauté kimchi for 3-4 minutes, then add brown sugar and apple cider vinegar, cooking until thickened.
  5. Toast burger buns. Assemble burgers with a patty on each bun, topped with kimchi bacon jam.
  6. Serve immediately with sides like fries, slaw, or salad.
