  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Chicken Patties

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • ½ small onion, grated
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Toppings

  • 4 slices cheddar cheese or your favorite cheese
  • 4 hamburger buns

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 360ºF (182ºC) to ensure it is hot and ready for cooking the chicken patties evenly.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated onion, chopped parsley, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated to create a flavorful mixture.
  3. Form Patties: Divide the chicken mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties. If the mixture is sticky, lightly spray your hands with non-stick spray to make forming easier and prevent sticking.
  4. Cook Patties: Place the patties in the preheated air fryer basket, ensuring they are spaced apart. Cook them at 360ºF for 9 minutes, allowing the patties to cook through and develop a slightly crispy exterior.
  5. Add Cheese: After 9 minutes, place a slice of cheddar or your preferred cheese on each patty. Continue cooking for an additional 1 minute in the air fryer to melt the cheese perfectly.
  6. Serve: Carefully remove the chicken burgers from the air fryer and place each patty on a hamburger bun. Add your favorite toppings and condiments, then serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey for chicken if desired.
  • Spray the air fryer basket lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
  • Customize with your favorite burger toppings such as lettuce, tomato, pickles, or onions.
  • Use gluten-free buns to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • Ensure the chicken patties reach an internal temperature of 165ºF for food safety.
