Instructions
- Prepare the chicken mixture: In a large mixing bowl, add the ground chicken, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, beaten egg, liquid smoke, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, mustard, and milk. Use your hands to combine everything evenly.
- Shape the patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal-sized balls, approximately 150g each. Flatten the balls into patties and gently create a small indentation in the center of each patty using your thumb, without going all the way through.
- Coat the patties: Place the additional 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl. Coat each patty thoroughly on all sides with the breadcrumbs.
- Cook in the air fryer: Arrange the coated patties in the air fryer basket. Spray the tops with olive oil spray or avocado spray. Cook at 390°F for 5 minutes. Flip the patties, spray the tops again, and cook for an additional 4 minutes. Remove from the air fryer.
- Serve and enjoy: Use the patties to make sandwiches or burgers with your favorite toppings and condiments. Enjoy your delicious, crispy chicken patties!
