Mix well using your hands or a spoon until all ingredients are just combined.

- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat to about 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease the grates or skillet with oil. Place the patties onto the grill or skillet, cooking for about 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- While the patties are cooking, whisk together mayonnaise, minced chipotle pepper, lime juice, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl for the chipotle mayo.
- Toast your burger buns on the grill or in a toaster, spread chipotle mayo on the bottom half of each bun, and add lettuce, chicken patty, sliced tomatoes, onions, and pickled jalapeños.
