Equipment

Ingredients

For chicken patty

  • 1 lb. Chicken mince or 500 gm.
  • 1 tsp. Pepper
  • ½ tsp. Salt
  • 1 onion finely chopped or minced
  • 2 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup seasoned breadcrumbs used ½ tsp. each Italian seasoning, salt and pepper to season breadcrumbs

For burger

  • 6 burger buns
  • Onion tomato and lettuce slices
  • Sauces as per taste

Instructions

Mixing the Patty:

  • This recipe is so easy. Just assemble all the ingredients of the chicken patty. I have used chicken mince here that is at room temperature. Finely chop or mince the onion and garlic. Assemble the breadcrumbs and season them with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. You can add finely chopped herbs like parsley too.
  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken mince, egg, half of the seasoned breadcrumbs, salt and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Divide the mixture into six portions and shape them into burger patties about ½ inch thick.
  • Now coat them with the remaining bread crumbs and keep aside. You are ready to air fry or skillet fry the chicken burger patties.

Air Fryer Method:

  • Preheat the air fryer to 180C or 360F for 3 minutes. Lightly grease the air fryer basket with oil, and place the patties inside in a single layer.
  • Air fry at 180C or 360F for 8 minute flipping them halfway through. Spray with olive oil on both sides for a golden appearance. The patties will be golden brown and fully cooked. You can check with a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature of 165F or 75C is reached. Your chicken burger patties are ready.
  • Now toast burger buns after splitting in half in air fryer. I generally do them for a minute at 180C or 360F. Your burger buns are ready.

Skillet Method:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the patties in the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes each side flipping once. Cook on medium heat till they are nicely browned and cooked through. You can check with a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature of 165F or 75C is reached.
  • Your chicken burger patties are done. Toast your burger buns in the skillet and keep them ready for assembling.

Assembling the Burger:

  • Apply your favourite sauce or mayo on the bottom of the bun. Top with lettuce, chicken patty, a cheese slice (optional), onion and tomato slices and close with the top of the bun.
  • Your homemade chicken burger is ready. Dig in!

Notes

You do not need to marinate the chicken. The chicken patty tastes very flavourful with this method.
Having the chicken mince cold or from the fridge makes it easier to form the patty shape easily.
You can use crushed oats instead of breadcrumbs here when making the patty.
You can add any seasonings you like to your patty.
These chicken patties freeze well. Freeze them after breading. They will stay for 3 months in the freezer. You may also refrigerate and keep the leftovers for upto 3 days in the fridge in an airtight container.
