  4. Chill Patties: Refrigerate the shaped patties for an additional 15 minutes.
  5. Cook Burgers (Grill): Preheat grill to medium-high, cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 160°F.
  6. Cook Burgers (Stovetop): Heat skillet, cook patties for 3-4 minutes, flip, brush with BBQ sauce, cover and cook until done.
  7. Toast Buns: Slice and toast the hamburger buns for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
