Chicken Patty Ingredients
- 1 can of chicken (drained and shredded, approx. 12.5 oz)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Onion powder, to taste
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained and shredded canned chicken, egg, shredded cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Shape Patties: Form the mixture into evenly sized patties, ensuring they hold together well for air frying.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (approximately 200°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for cooking.
- Cook Patties First Side: Place the patties in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook for 7 minutes to allow them to start crisping.
- Flip Patties: Carefully flip each patty using tongs or a spatula to ensure even cooking and browning on both sides.
- Cook Patties Second Side: Continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes or until the patties are golden brown, crispy on the outside, and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove the patties from the air fryer and serve warm. Enjoy them as is or with your favorite dipping sauce or sides.
Notes
- You can use any shredded cheese you prefer; cheddar gives a nice flavor and melt.
- If the mixture feels too wet, add a tablespoon of breadcrumbs or crushed crackers to help bind the patties.
- For extra flavor, consider adding chopped herbs like parsley or chives.
- These patties can be frozen before cooking for easy future meals; just thaw before air frying.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the model of your air fryer.
