Notes
- Don't skip the step of squeezing out the vegetables with a cheesecloth. All that extra liquid will ruin the tzatziki.
- Always use an instant-read thermometer on your chicken. Make sure it is 165℉.
- If you have time, let the ground chicken marinate for 3-4 hours before making the patties and grilling.
