Directions

1. Heat half the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the onion turns translucent without browning, 4–5 minutes.
2. Season with the salt and pepper, sprinkle in the fennel seed, and cook until fragrant and lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Scrape the mixture into a medium bowl to cool slightly.
3. Add the ground chicken, red wine vinegar, chives, paprika, sugar, and nutmeg to the bowl. Mix gently with a fork until evenly combined without overworking.
4. Divide the mixture into equal portions and form into patties about 1/2 inch thick. Arrange on parchment or wax paper.
5. Heat the remaining oil in the skillet over medium-low. Cook patties in batches without crowding until browned, about 3 minutes per side, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until the centers reach 165°F. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining patties.
