Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 1 Lb Ground chicken see notes for substitutions
  • cup Bread crumbs
  • ¼ cup Mayonaisse
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 tsp salt to season
  • cup Mozarella shredded
  • 1 cup Panko bread crumbs

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • ½ tsp Black pepper
  • ½ tsp Garlic Powder

Instructions

  • Start by adding all the patty ingredients, except for the Panko bread crumbs to a large mixing bowl. Mix with a fork until well combined.
  • Shape the filling into a patty using your palms. Wet your palms before shaping the patties - this will help prevent the filling from sticking to your palms.
  • In a plate, spread the panko bread crumbs. Roll the shaped patty in the bread crumbs to evenly coat them.
  • After you have shaped breaded all the patties, transfer to a tray lined with baking paper and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight. I find this really helps to tenderize the meat. You can also freeze the patties to be used later.
  • In a preheated Air Fryer, place the patties in the basket, without overcrowding them. Spray cooking oil over them, or simply brush with some cooking oil.
  • Air Fry at 350F for 15 minutes, flipping them at the 10 minutes mark. Check to see if the patties are golden brown. You can continue air frying for 3-4 minutes more to crisp up the patties if you like.

Notes

Ground chicken can be replaced with shredded rotisserie chicken- I have made these burgers with both rotisserie chicken and ground chicken and they both taste great.
Can be made with ground turkey too – Simply substitute the ground chicken with ground turkey meat, and follow the recipe instructions
For added texture in the patty, you can also add some chopped onion and parsley.
