Really Good Grilled Chicken Burgers With Fresh Basil Mayo Recipe

"Chicken burgers have a reputation for being dry and not very tasty, not these this is an awesome recipe for chicken burgers! Since these only make 4 small burgers I always double amounts when I make them, also chicken patties are refrigerated 6 hours or 24 hours before cooking, also the mayo sauce is made ahead."
