  1. Mix the minced chicken with the smoked paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. Shape into four even patties, making them slightly wider than the buns.

  2. Stir the mayonnaise with a pinch of cayenne and a little black pepper, then chill it while the burgers cook.

  3. Heat the cooking oil in a large frying pan or on a hot grill. Cook the patties for 5–6 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through with no pink meat in the centre.

  4. Toast the burger buns cut-side down for 1–2 minutes until lightly golden.

  5. Spread the spicy mayo over the buns and fill with lettuce, tomato, red onion and a chicken patty. Serve straight away.
