Step 1: Preparing the Hamburger Patties

To create flavorful hamburger patties, follow these steps:

1. Ingredients:

   • Ground beef (80% lean)
   • Salt
   • Pepper
   • Garlic powder (optional)

2. Mixing:

   • In a bowl, combine the ground beef with a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
   • Mix gently; avoid overworking the meat to keep the patties tender.

3. Forming Patties:

   • Divide the mixture into equal portions (approximately 150 grams each).
   • Shape each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center to prevent bulging while cooking.

4. Chilling:

   • Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps them retain their shape during cooking.

Step 2: Cooking the Patties

To achieve perfectly cooked hamburger patties, follow these tips:

1. Preheating:

   • Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure it's well-oiled to prevent sticking.

2. Cooking:

   • Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side.
   • Flip them and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until they reach your desired doneness (medium is typically around 160°F or 70°C).

3. Adding Cheese (optional):

   • If you want cheeseburgers, add a slice of cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking. Cover to melt.

Step 3: Assembling the Hamburger

Creating a delicious hamburger involves thoughtful assembly:

1. Ingredients:

   • Burger buns
   • Lettuce
   • Tomato slices
   • Pickles
   • Ketchup and mustard (or other preferred condiments)

2. Toasting Buns:

   • Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster for extra flavor and texture.

3. Assembly:

   • Start with the bottom bun, adding lettuce, the cooked patty, tomato slices, pickles, and condiments.
   • Finish with the top bun.

Step 4: Preparing Chicken Sandwiches

Now let's move on to making delicious chicken sandwiches.

1. Ingredients:

   • Chicken breast
   • Salt
   • Pepper
   • Flour
   • Egg
   • Breadcrumbs

2. Bread the Chicken:

   • Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
   • Dredge in flour, dip in beaten egg, and coat with breadcrumbs.

3. Cooking the Chicken:

   • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
   • Fry the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 5: Assembling the Chicken Sandwich

Follow these steps for a tasty chicken sandwich:

1. Ingredients:

   • Sandwich buns
   • Lettuce
   • Tomato slices
   • Mayonnaise or your choice of sauce

2. Assembly:
