Crispy Ground Chicken Burgers

chicken, Note 1

neutral oil

panko breadcrumbs ((or regular bread crumbs

mayonnaise ((or milk

parsley ((about 2 tablespoons dried))

green onions ((or 1 teaspoon onion powder))

garlic powder

salt

ground pepper

Worcestershire Sauce

all purpose flour

egg water

panko breadcrumbs ((regular breadcrumbs ok, but texture less light and crispy))

hamburger buns and toppings, Note 2

PREPARE BREADING STATION: Place a beaten egg with a splash of water into a shallow bowl. Place flour into another shallow bowl. Place panko crumbs on a plate. Place a plate or cutting board nearby for the breaded chicken patties.

MAKE CHICKEN MIXTURE:  In a large bowl, mix panade (Note 2) and seasoning ingredients together. Let stand a few minutes if using milk or broth to allow liquid to absorb. Add ground chicken to the panade mixture. Using a clean hand formed like a claw, combine lightly. Try not to overwork the mixture.

FORM BURGERS: Roughly divide chicken mixture into 5 parts. Wet your hands and lightly make a patty (about 1/3 pound/150 grams each).  Patties will be wet and sticky, approximately 1 inch/2.5 cm thick. Dip each patty into flour to coat lightly. Shake off excess flour. Then dip patty into egg mixture, and finally into panko crumbs to cover entire surface. Repeat for all 5 chicken burgers. Let sit for 7 minutes to allow crumbs to adhere, flour to absorb moisture and burgers to come to room temperature.

PAN-FRY BURGERS: Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet or other nonstick skillet to medium-high heat. Add the number of burgers that fit comfortably. Don&#39;t overcrowd the pan. Pan-fry burgers for 4 minutes, then turn and continue cooking another 3-5 minutes , depending on thickness, until golden brown. If panko coating is browning to quickly, lower heat to medium heat. The internal temperature on an instant-read thermometer should reach 160F/71C. Temperature will rise 5 degrees on resting. To bake, Note 3. To air fry, Note 4.Transfer the crispy chicken patties to a wire rack over a baking sheet after pan-frying if you are making another batch. Keep them warm in a low heat oven.

SERVE: in brioche buns or regular hamburger buns with toppings of your choice. Note 5. Or skip the buns and just use toppings.

Fairly easy to make &amp; downright delicious! Will 100% make again!

Tried this recipe back in the summertime and was skeptical whether it would taste good! Well oh my goodness it was so tasty and I managed to get the slaw in the picture by using a kale salad mix and making my own dressing! In fact we all loved this recipe so much that I’ve made it nearly a dozen times more since! Perfect “sandwich” whatever the weather outside! We love it!

Recipe had a good taste. My only problem was the burgers would not stay together. Flipping them over caused them to breakup. I'm wondering if maybe I used to much mayo. After mixing the ingredients and then adding the meat (I did use turkey in place of the chicken), it seemed like they were just a gooey mess. I put them in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm them up before going thru the flour, egg and panko bread crumbs. But they even started falling apart when flipping them in the last process before frying. They just weren't firm enough.

Screaming flavor!!🎉🎉🎉Amazing recipe quick and easy. Substituted white grated onions in the meat like a kabob for extra flavor and then some grilled onions after cooked made siracha mayonaise lettuce and cheddar ,grilled our brioche buns face down with a light mayo spread to help grill bread added  some  cheddar cheese on top each one.  I opted for a cheddar cheese with bbq sauce mayo,lettuce on brioche was amazing

WOW. I was amazed at how tasty these burgers were. Definitely making these again. Thank you so much.

I never leave reviews and I’ve made thousands of recipes off Pinterest, felt the need to finally leave one. These burgers are absolutely phenomenal!! My 10month old and husband both devoured them!! Thank you this will be in our rotation!

I am new to your site, but I am thrilled to have found you. I have already made several of your recipes. One of the best is your Crispy Chicken burgers. They were made with turkey instead of chicken and I added fresh diced onion and garlic to replace the ground seasoning. This recipe was FABULOUS!! It was tasty, and CRUNCHY, with a reasonable cost to make. Better yet...all ingredients were at hand. Served on a bun with condiments, home made coleslaw and chips. Many, many thanks for sharing such a great dish. I cannot wait to try more from your home to mine.
PS- Leftovers were  just as great!!!
