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
Instructions
- Prepare the mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Form patties: Shape the mixture into 4 equally sized round patties, each about ½-inch thick and approximately 133 grams in weight.
- Prepare the air fryer: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking. Place the patties in the basket in a single layer, allowing edges to slightly touch if necessary. Brush the tops of the patties 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 cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches a safe 165°F (74°C), ensuring they are fully cooked through.
Notes
- To ensure even cooking, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for food safety.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed nuts.
- Store leftover patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- These patties can be served in buns as chicken burgers or on salads for a lighter meal.
