Chicken Burgers with BBQ Onion Sauce

When I say this is the best non-hamburger, hamburger you will ever have...I am so not kidding!

2 pounds of ground chicken
2/3 cup grated parmesan
5 cloves of chopped garlic
3 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/4 teaspoon allspice
grated orange peel
salt and pepper

Mix all these ingredients together and form four hamburger patties.

BBQ Onion Sauce...
olive oil
1/4 pound of chopped pancetta (use bacon if you don't have or cannot find this)
2 red onions, chopped
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons of honey
2 tablespoons of worcestershire sauce
the juice of the orange from above

In a medium pot add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. Add the pancetta and cook until crisp...add the onions and season with salt and pepper. Add the bay leaf and cook until the onions begin to brown over low heat...about 10 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and cook, stirring occasionally for about 6-7 minutes.
Cook the chicken burgers on the grill or inside until desired doneness...transfer to a toasted bun and top with the onion BBQ sauce.
