Chicken Patties Recipe
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, 1/4 of the plain breadcrumbs, egg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce.

- Dredge each chicken patty in the breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coat.
- Dip the patty briefly in the milk, then dredge it again in the breadcrumbs for a second coating.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the breaded patties in the hot oil and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. You may have to work in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
- Once cooked, remove the patties from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces or on hamburger buns with mayo, lettuce, and tomato. Enjoy!
Air Fryer Directions:
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease the basket. Arrange the breaded chicken patties in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the patties are golden brown. If needed, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Tips & Tricks
- Use Cold Ingredients: Keeping your ground chicken and other ingredients cold makes it easier to shape the patties and helps them hold together better during cooking.
- Even Portions: For evenly sized patties, use a kitchen scale or a measuring cup. This ensures consistent cooking times and presentation.
- Moisture Matters: Don’t skip the milk dip! It adds moisture and helps the breadcrumbs adhere better, resulting in a crispier exterior.
- Season to Taste: Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your preference. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick or some chopped fresh herbs for extra flavor.
- Avoid Overmixing: When combining the ingredients, mix just until everything is incorporated. Overmixing can result in dense, tough patties.
- Rest Before Cooking: After shaping the patties, let them rest in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. This helps them firm up and reduces the chance of falling apart during cooking.
- Oil Temperature: Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the patties. A temperature around 350°F (175°C) is ideal. If the oil is too cool, the patties will absorb more oil and become greasy.
- Batch Cooking: If your skillet is small, cook the patties in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can lower the oil temperature and result in uneven cooking.
- Drain Excess Oil: Place the cooked patties on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil, ensuring they stay crispy and not soggy.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve the patties immediately while they’re hot for the best texture. Pair with a variety of dipping sauces like honey mustard, ranch, or spicy aioli. For a complete meal, serve them on hamburger buns with mayo, lettuce, tomato, and pickles.
- Make Ahead and Freeze: To save time, prepare and shape the patties ahead of time. Arrange on a baking sheet with parchment paper, then freeze until completely frozen.
- Transfer the frozen patties to a zip-top bag and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to cook, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and proceed with breading and frying as directed.
