Air Fryer Chicken Patties (Printer-Friendly)

Tender chicken patties with Parmesan and spices cooked quickly in the air fryer for juicy results.

# What You'll Need:

→ Chicken Mixture

01 - 1.5 pounds ground chicken
02 - 1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
03 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
04 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
05 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
06 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
08 - 1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
09 - 1/2 teaspoon paprika
10 - 1 teaspoon salt
11 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

→ Cooking

12 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

→ For Serving (Optional)

13 - 4 hamburger buns
14 - 4 lettuce leaves
15 - 4 tomato slices
16 - 1/4 cup garlic aioli or mayonnaise

# Steps to Follow:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, Italian breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, chicken bouillon powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix lightly until evenly incorporated, being careful not to overwork the mixture.
02 - Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Form each into a tight ball, then flatten into patties with rounded edges, ensuring they are slightly larger than the buns to account for shrinkage during cooking.
03 - Place the formed patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
04 - Preheat the air fryer to 375°F for 4 to 5 minutes. Lightly brush the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking.
05 - Arrange patties in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Brush the tops with olive oil. Cook for 6 minutes, then carefully flip each patty, brush the other side with olive oil, and cook for an additional 6 to 8 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
06 - Remove patties from the air fryer and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving to retain juiciness.
07 - Serve patties as desired: enjoy plain or assemble sandwiches with hamburger buns, lettuce, tomato slices, and garlic aioli or mayonnaise.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - To achieve a crispy crust, coat patties with egg and breadcrumbs before air frying.
02 - Adjust cooking time for different air fryer sizes and always confirm patties reach 165°F internal temperature.
03 - Leftover patties can be refrigerated up to 4 days or frozen for up to 1 month with parchment paper between patties.
