I agree this recipe was unexpectedly tasty. I made my own sauce using mayo, yogurt, and hot sweet mustard because I didn't think I'd like the basil sauce. Yummy.

Surprisingly delicious! I honestly thought this might be good but not great, but addition of corn and browned onions gave a depth of flavor that made these the best chicken patties I’ve ever had. I added salt to both the onions and the meat before grinding, and I used thighs instead of breasts which may have helped enhance the flavor. The basil sauce was a nice addition to scrambled eggs the next day.
