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 (for brushing and spraying)
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, ensuring a consistent flavor throughout the patties.
- Form patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each into a round patty about ½-inch thick, roughly 133g each. This size allows for even cooking and a satisfying bite.
- Prepare air fryer: Spray the air fryer basket lightly with olive oil spray to prevent sticking. Place the patties in a single layer; it’s allowed if the edges touch slightly. Brush the tops of the patties with olive oil to help them crisp up during cooking.
- Cook patties: Air fry the patties at 400°F (205°C) for 7 minutes. Carefully flip each patty and continue cooking for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), ensuring they are fully cooked and safe to eat.
Notes
- Use a food thermometer to confirm patties reach an internal temp of 165°F for safe consumption.
- You can substitute olive oil with avocado or another neutral oil for brushing.
- For added flavor, consider mixing in finely chopped herbs like parsley or cilantro.
- These patties can be served with buns as chicken burgers or alongside a fresh salad for a low-carb option.
- Leftover patties can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
