Chicken Patties are crispy on the outside and juicy inside, made from ground chicken seasoned with garlic, onion, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Each patty gets a double breadcrumb coating before being pan-fried until golden, with an easy air fryer option included, too.
I like making homemade chicken patties because I can season them exactly how we like them and know exactly what goes into them. We can eat them as chicken patty sandwiches with our favorite toppings, or skip the bun and serve them with a dipping sauce and a few easy sides.

How to Make Chicken Patties
Make the Chicken Mixture: Combine the ground chicken, ¼ cup breadcrumbs, egg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix just until combined.
Shape the Patties: Divide the chicken mixture into 6 equal portions and shape into patties.
Bread the Patties: Place the remaining breadcrumbs and milk in separate shallow dishes. Coat each patty in breadcrumbs, dip briefly in the milk, then coat again with breadcrumbs.
Cook: Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4–5 minutes per side, working in batches if needed, until golden brown and the center reaches 165°F.
Drain and Serve: Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve hot as desired.
Tips I Found Helpful 💙
- Don’t overmix: Mix the chicken just until everything is combined so the patties stay tender.
- Keep them even: Make the patties about the same size so they cook at the same rate.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan: Cook in batches so the patties get golden and crispy.
- Check the temperature: Ground chicken should reach 165°F in the center.

Notes
Use ¼ cup of the breadcrumbs in the chicken mixture and reserve the remaining ¾ cup for breading. Keep the chicken mixture cold and lightly wet or oil your hands if it becomes sticky while shaping. Chill the formed patties for 15–20 minutes before breading to help them hold their shape. For pan-frying, make sure the oil is hot before adding the patties and avoid overcrowding the skillet. Cook chicken patties until the center reaches 165°F.
