Directions

1. Combine cranberries, maple syrup, and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook uncovered for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most berries have popped and the sauce thickens. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
2. Place bacon in a cold frying pan and heat to medium-high. Cook until crispy, flipping occasionally.
3. Meanwhile, finely dice the onion and apple, and chop the rosemary.
4. Remove bacon from the pan and set aside to cool.
5. Sauté onion in the bacon fat over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Add apple and rosemary, cooking until onion is browned and softened, about 5-8 minutes.
6. Chop cooled bacon into small pieces.
7. In a bowl, combine ground chicken, bacon, apple-onion mixture, and salt. Mix well and form into patties.
8. Heat the pan over medium heat. Cook patties, flipping halfway, until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 15-25 minutes.
9. Serve the patties with chilled maple-cranberry sauce.
