How to Make It

1. Step
Make the roasted tomato vodka jam: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Step
In a large bowl, toss together the tomatoes, onion, serrano, olive oil, and salt. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet and bake until the tomatoes begin to soften and brown, about 40 minutes.
3. Step
In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together the vodka and horseradish.
4. Step
Remove the tomatoes from the oven, pour the vodka mixture over, and stir to combine. Return the tomatoes to the oven and continue cooking until the mixture has thickened, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool until ready to use. Leave the oven on.
5. Step
Make the black pepper candied bacon: Line a baking sheet with foil.
6. Step
Arrange the bacon in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Transfer to the oven and cook until the bacon strips begin to curl at the edges, about 10 minutes.
7. Step
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup and black pepper.
8. Step
Remove the bacon from the oven and brush with the black pepper syrup. Return to the oven and continue cooking until the bacon begins to crisp, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool until ready to use. Leave the oven on.
9. Step
Make the spicy chicken burger: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, Worcestershire sauce, celery salt, and garlic powder. Use your hands to mix until just combined, then divide into 4 equal portions.
10. Step
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the olive oil. Use your hands to press each chicken portion into a thin patty, then add to the skillet, working in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding. Cook until the patties are golden on the bottoms and the edges are crispy, about 3 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 3 minutes more. Drizzle each patty with ¼ teaspoon hot sauce.
11. Step
Assemble the burgers: Place the intact burger buns on a baking sheet. Brush the top of each bun with the beaten egg and top with the celery seeds. Transfer to the oven and bake until the egg wash turns golden brown, about 5 minutes.
12. Step
Thread 1 cornichon and 1 cherry onto each of 4 toothpicks.
13. Step
Open the buns and spread 2 tablespoons of tomato jam on the bottom halves, then top with a chicken patty and 2 slices of candied bacon. Place the top bun on top and skewer each burger with a cornichon and tomato toothpick. Serve with a bloody mary.
14. Step
Enjoy!
