Method
- Combine ground chicken with finely chopped onions, garlic, and your chosen seasonings in a large bowl. Mix until well combined, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Form the mixture into patties, making sure they are uniform in size for even cooking.
- Refrigerate the patties for about 30 minutes to help them firm up.
- Fry in a skillet over medium heat with oil until golden brown and cooked through (5-7 minutes per side).
- Air fry at 375°F for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Grill over medium heat for 6-8 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
For best results, use ground chicken with a bit of fat (such as a mix of breast and thigh) to keep the patties moist and flavorful. If the mixture feels too wet, add extra breadcrumbs a tablespoon at a time. Refrigerating the patties for 20–30 minutes before cooking helps them hold their shape. These chicken patties can be pan-fried, air-fried, or grilled based on your preference—each method offers a slightly different texture and calorie count.
