Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Patty Ingredients
- 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
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus 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 ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated, creating a cohesive mixture.
- Form patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions, each about 133 grams. Shape each portion into a round patty approximately ½-inch thick for even cooking.
- Prepare air fryer: Lightly spray the basket of the air fryer with olive oil spray to prevent sticking. Arrange the patties in a single layer inside the basket, allowing edges to touch slightly if needed. Brush the tops of each patty with olive oil to promote browning.
- Cook patties: Air fry the patties at 400°F (204°C) for 7 minutes. Carefully flip each patty and continue cooking for another 3 to 5 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) ensuring they are fully cooked and juicy.
Notes
- You can substitute breadcrumbs with gluten-free crumbs to make the patties gluten-free.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the patties reach a safe internal temperature of 165°F.
- Brush the patties with olive oil after flipping for an extra crispy exterior.
- Serve with a fresh salad or on a bun with your favorite toppings for a quick meal.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, these patties can also be pan-fried in a skillet over medium heat, about 5 minutes per side.
