Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Patties

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Nonstick spray or oil (for air fryer)


Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped onion, breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully incorporated but avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.
  2. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 to 6 equal portions and shape each into a patty approximately 1/2 inch thick for even cooking.
  3. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket or tray with oil or nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook Patties: Place the patties in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap. You may need to cook them in batches depending on your air fryer size. Air fry for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the patties turn golden brown.
  5. Serve: Serve the chicken patties on buns with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, and condiments, or enjoy them with a side of vegetables or salad for a wholesome meal.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add 1/4 cup shredded cheese or finely chopped herbs like parsley or cilantro to the patty mixture before shaping.
  • These patties can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 1 month. Reheat in the air fryer for best results.
