Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Patty Mixture
- 1 pound ground chicken (450g)
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs (30g)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
For Cooking
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus olive oil spray for air fryer basket)
Instructions
- Prepare the mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined, ensuring even seasoning throughout the mixture.
- Form patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a round patty approximately ½-inch thick, weighing about 133 grams each for uniform cooking.
- Prepare air fryer: Spray the basket of the air fryer lightly with olive oil spray to prevent sticking. Arrange the patties in a single layer inside the basket, making sure they touch slightly but don’t overlap. Brush the tops of the patties with olive oil to promote browning.
- Cook patties: Set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and cook the patties for 7 minutes. Then, carefully flip each patty and cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes. Check that the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are fully cooked and safe to eat.
Notes
- Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow even air circulation for crisp cooking.
- Use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature for safe and perfect cooking.
- Customize seasonings to your preference by adding herbs like parsley or cayenne for added flavor.
- These patties can be served in buns as chicken burgers or alongside your favorite salads and sides.
- Leftover patties can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
