Ingredients

Scale

For Homemade Chicken Patties:

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs (Panko recommended)
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • Optional: Dash of chipotle pepper, parsley, or oregano for extra flavor

For Store-Bought Frozen Patties:

  • Frozen chicken patties (your favorite brand)

Instructions

For Homemade Patties:

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and any optional seasonings. Mix until evenly combined.
  2. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape into patties. Flatten slightly for even cooking and extra crispiness.
  3. Prep the Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Line the air fryer tray with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  4. Air Fry the Patties: Place the patties in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray or brush with olive oil. Air fry for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
  5. Check Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature of the patties reaches 165°F (74°C).

For Store-Bought Frozen Patties:

  1. Prep the Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Air Fry the Patties: Place frozen patties in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 10–15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  3. Serve: Once crispy and cooked through, remove and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Oil is Key: Lightly coat the patties with oil to achieve that perfect golden-brown crisp.
  • Even Cooking: Flatten the patties for more consistent cooking and a crunchier texture.
  • Check Doneness: Always ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
  • Cleanup Hack: Use parchment paper or foil on the tray to minimize mess.
  • Serving Suggestions: Pair with buns, lettuce, tomatoes, and your favorite sauce for a quick sandwich, or serve alongside a fresh salad for a lighter option.
