3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1-1/4 pounds ground chicken

1/2 cup shortening

For biscuits, in a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk just until moistened. Stir in cheese and pecans. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 8-10 times.
Pat or roll out to a 12-in. x 4-in. rectangle; cut into twelve 2-in. square biscuits. Place 2 in. apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 450° for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook chicken patties in oil over medium heat for 2-4 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 165° and juices run clear.
Slice warm biscuits in half. Spread bottoms with mayonnaise mixture; top with a burger and lettuce. Replace tops. Yield: 12 servings.

How to Toast Nuts

Toasting nuts before using them in a recipe intensifies their flavor. Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and bake at 350° for 5 to 10 minutes or until lightly toasted. Be sure to watch them carefully so they don't burn.
