- Grill burger patties for 6-8 minutes per side or until internal temperature (in the thickest part of patty reaches 160-165 degrees F.
- Remove grilled patties from heat and place them onto a cutting board and lightly tent with aluminum foil.
- Meanwhile, combine mayonnaise with barbecue sauce and cider vinegarโtransfer sauce to a condiment bottle for easier application.

Storing Leftovers and Tips:
- Store patties in an airtight container in your fridge for three days.
- Coleslaw will be good in the refrigerator for up to two days. Discard after this time, as it will become mushy the longer it sits. To avoid this, make up the slaw dressing, store it in the fridge, and only dress the shredded cabbage as needed.
