Here’s a quick and easy Air Fryer Chicken Patties recipe—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside 🍗✨
🍔 Air Fryer Chicken Patties
🧾 Ingredients (makes 4 patties)
- 1 lb (450g) ground chicken
- ½ cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Optional: 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or herbs
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat air fryer
- Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes.
2. Make the patties
- In a bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and herbs.
- Mix until just combined (don’t overmix).
- Form into 4 evenly sized patties.
3. Air fry the patties
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Place patties in a single layer, leaving space between them.
- Cook 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and patties are golden brown.
4. Serve
- Serve on buns with lettuce, tomato, cheese, and your favorite sauces.
- Great with a side of fries, salad, or coleslaw.
💡 Tips
- Extra crisp: Lightly spray the tops of the patties with cooking spray before cooking.
- Juicy patties: Don’t overmix; overworked meat can become dense.
- Flavor boost: Add a dash of hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, or grated Parmesan to the mixture.
🍽️ Variations
- Cheesy patties: Press a small cube of cheese into the center before shaping.
- Spicy patties: Add chili powder, cayenne, or paprika to the seasoning mix.
- Herb & garlic: Mix in fresh chopped parsley, thyme, or rosemary for an aromatic flavor.
