Side Dishes
Serve these air fryer chicken patties with these great side dishes you can make in the air fryer:
💡 Tips
1. Using Smoked Salt
If you want to make these chicken burgers extra special and tasty- you can use smoked salt instead of regular salt.
This will give the burgers a smoky flavor that pairs perfectly with the crispy air-fried coating. You can also use smoked paprika instead of smoked salt.
2. Ground Chicken
I made these burgers from ground chicken, but feel free to add ground turkey to the mix. I find that the turkey adds a nice flavor. It has a more “meaty” taste which is great for burgers.
3. Using Baking Soda
Don’t get me wrong- if you follow this recipe, your air fryer chicken patties will turn out delicious. But if you want to take them up a notch, I suggest adding a pinch of baking soda to the chicken patties mixture.
Let it sit for 20 minutes, then shape and air fry. The baking soda will tenderize the meat and create a light, juicy patty that’s full of flavor.
4. Different Seasonings
You can also add your favorite seasonings to your air fryer chicken patties for extra flavor. Try adding Cajun seasoning or BBQ seasoning – I think they both taste amazing.
You can also try adding garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder to give the patties some extra flavor and kick.
5. Don’t Overcrowd The Air Fryer Basket
It’s important not to overcrowd the air fryer basket when cooking the chicken patties.
Leaving enough space between the patties will allow the air to circulate evenly, and they’ll cook more evenly.
If you overcrowd the basket, the patties may not cook evenly, and you won’t get that perfect crispy exterior.
6. Let the Patties Rest Before Cooking
After shaping the patties, let them rest for at least 10 minutes before cooking them. This will help the flavors meld together and the breadcrumbs to adhere to the chicken.
It will also make the patties easier to handle when coating them with flour and breadcrumbs.
Freezing
You can freeze these chicken burgers for later. Simply let them cool completely before transferring them to a freezer-safe container or bag.
To reheat, simply thaw in the refrigerator overnight and cook with your air fryer for a few minutes until heated through.
I hope you liked my air fryer chicken burgers recipe. These patties are so crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
Not only do they taste amazing, but they are so much healthier than “regular” burgers which are usually fried in lots of oil.
I love using an air fryer for this because it cuts down on the use of oils and fat, making these patties much lighter than regular burgers.
