Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Grill the first skewers
    Skewered chicken and green beans cooking over charcoal on a metal grill.

    Place the chicken legs, green beans, and winter melon slices onto the grill over medium-low heat. Cook slowly, flipping occasionally to ensure they cook evenly on all sides without burning.

    Tip: Medium-low heat is essential for cooking thicker items like chicken legs all the way through without charring the outside.
  2. 2Add remaining vegetables and sausage
    Enoki mushrooms, tied garlic chives, and a sausage cooking on a grill grate.

    Arrange the potato slices, baby bok choy, enoki mushrooms, garlic chives, and sausage alongside the other items on the grill. Continue to cook, turning as needed, until all ingredients are tender and fully cooked through.

    Tip: Keep a close eye on thinner vegetables like enoki mushrooms and garlic chives, as they will finish cooking faster than the meats.
  3. 3Glaze and season
    Grilled potato slices, sausage, and vegetables coated in a glossy barbecue sauce and chili flakes.

    Once the ingredients are fully cooked, brush a generous layer of rich barbecue sauce over everything. Sprinkle with chili powder and chopped green onions for an extra burst of savory and spicy flavor.

    Tip: Apply the barbecue sauce during the final minutes of grilling so the sugars in the sauce caramelize but do not burn.
  4. 4Toast the burger buns

    Place the burger buns directly onto the hot grill rack. Toast them just until the insides develop a golden-brown and crispy texture.

    Tip: Watch the buns very closely, as bread can go from perfectly toasted to burnt in a matter of seconds on a hot grill.
  5. 5Begin assembling the burger
    Bottom half of a burger bun topped with grilled vegetables and glazed meat skewers on a grill.

    Start building your burger right on the grill to keep it warm. Place the bottom toasted bun down and layer on the baby bok choy, green beans, enoki mushrooms, garlic chives, and the barbecue-glazed beef skewer.

    Tip: Layering the sturdy greens like bok choy at the bottom helps catch the flavorful juices from the meats above.
  6. 6Finish the massive burger stack

    Continue stacking the burger by adding the cooked chicken, glazed potato slices, and the grilled sausage on top of the beef skewers. Finally, cover with the toasted top bun to complete this towering barbecue burger.

    Tip: Press down gently on the top bun once assembled to help stabilize the towering stack of ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely. Feel free to swap the bok choy or green beans for grilled bell peppers, zucchini, or asparagus depending on what is in season.
The key is to toast the bun thoroughly until crisp and place the sturdier, less-juicy ingredients like bok choy or potatoes against the bottom bun to act as a barrier.
Enoki mushrooms are delicate. Grill them on medium-low heat for a short time and turn them frequently so they soften without burning or drying out.
