Equipment

Ingredients
 

For store-bought patties

  • 2 chicken patties homemade or purchased
  • Spray cooking oil
  • Salt & pepper

For homemade chicken patties:

  • 1/2 pound (227 g) ground chicken
  • 1/3 cup (33 g) Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon (3 g) garlic salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon (0.5 g) ground black pepper
  • breadcrumbs and egg optional
  • Spray cooking oil

Instructions
 

For homemade patties:

  • Combine ground chicken, Parmesan cheese, garlic salt, and pepper in a bowl and mix until evenly combined.
  • Form flat, round patties and place in refrigerator to firm up for 15 minutes.
  • Spray air fryer basket with cooking spray and add chicken patties. Cook at 400°F (205°C) for 8 minutes, flipping halfway.

For store-bought patties:

  • Spray air fryer basket with cooking spray and add chicken patties.
  • Cook at 400°F(205°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Notes

  • You can grate some onion into your meat mixture. It adds flavor and moisture to the patties.
  • Place the chicken patties in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to firm up before cooking.
  • You can coat the patties in an egg wash and breadcrumbs if you want. That's an optional step for crispy chicken patties. Spray with oil before cooking.
  • If you want to add cheese, wait until the patties are fully cooked. Place the cheese on the patties and close the air fryer. Let them sit there for a minute. The residual heat will melt the cheese without worrying about it being blown around during cooking.

All air fryers have different wattage and may cook at different rates. You may need to adjust the time or temp for the best results.
