Do they call Chicken Sandwiches “Chicken Burgers” somewhere?
- junglesurfer 6y agoYup! In the UK generally they are known as Chicken Burgers, AFAIK.
- grecy 6y agoYep, here in BC, Canada it's common to order a "Chicken Burger", not a "Chicken Sandwich".
- paxys 6y agoYes, pretty much everywhere in the world. I have never understood why it is called chicken sandwich instead of chicken burger in the US.
- NikolaeVarius 6y agoI would not be surprised if a Beef Hamburger lobby is associated with this.
- kevinmchugh 6y agoBean burgers and turkey burgers are both common in the US.
- kevinmchugh 6y agoI've very rarely seen ground chicken served on a bun. A chicken sandwich in the US is usually a whole deboned breast or thigh, fried or grilled. I have seen ground chicken, griddled or grilled, called a chicken burger.
- BHSPitMonkey 6y agoAll over Europe you'll see fried/grilled chicken on a bun referred to as a "chicken burger" (often in English, even where that isn't the spoken language). This is even the case in places like KFC. I'm firmly against this nomenclature, but I suppose these places are set in their old ways for some reason :)
- kortilla 6y agoBecause most chicken sandwiches in the US are breasts and not burgers. Most of the ground up chicken stuff ends up in things like chicken nuggets and cheap chicken fingers.
- daave 6y agoAlso in Australia they're called chicken burgers. Before moving to the US I always thought it was the style of bun that made it a 'burger', whereas if you put it between two pieces of sliced bread it would be a 'sandwich'.
- amanaplanacanal 6y agoNative US here, in my mind burger means minced meat.
