# Steps to Follow:
01 -
In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, chicken bouillon powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until evenly combined, avoiding overmixing to maintain moisture.
02 -
Divide mixture into four equal portions. Shape each into a tight ball then flatten into patties slightly larger than your burger buns. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm.
03 -
Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 4-5 minutes. Lightly brush the air fryer basket with olive oil.
04 -
Arrange patties in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Brush tops with olive oil. Cook for 6 minutes at 375°F (190°C).
05 -
Flip patties carefully, brush the other side with olive oil, and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes, until an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached.
06 -
Remove patties and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving.
07 -
Place a chicken patty on each burger bun bottom, add a leaf of lettuce and a slice of tomato. Top with garlic aioli or mayonnaise and cover with the bun top. Serve immediately.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Ensure patties reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
02 -
For a crispier crust, dip patties in beaten egg and coat with breadcrumbs before air frying.
03 -
These can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen with parchment paper separating each patty.
04 -
Use a 6-quart basket style air fryer for best results; adjust cooking time for different models.
