Chicken burger in air fryer is a delicious and easy way to enjoy a crispy and juicy homemade burger. Using an airfryer ensures that the chicken remains tender inside while achieving a crispy outer layer, all with less oil than traditional frying.
Making chicken burger in air fryer is a healthier and faster alternative to pan-frying or deep-frying. The airfryer uses hot air circulation to cook the chicken evenly, resulting in a crispy texture with minimal oil. This method is perfect for those who want a quick and satisfying meal without compromising on taste.
Prepare the chicken patty
In a bowl, mix ground chicken with breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Shape the mixture into equal-sized patties for even cooking.
Preheat the airfryer
Set your airfryer to 180°C (356°F) and let it preheat for about 3 minutes. This ensures that the chicken burgers cook evenly and get crispy.
Cook the patties
Lightly spray the airfryer basket with oil and place the chicken patties inside in a single layer. Air fry at 180°C (356°F) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the patties are golden brown and cooked through.
Assemble the burger
Place the cooked chicken patties in burger buns with lettuce, tomato, cheese, and your favorite sauce. Serve hot and enjoy!
For extra flavor, try adding paprika or cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture. If you prefer a crispier texture, lightly coat the patties with panko breadcrumbs before airfrying. To ensure the chicken is fully cooked, use a meat thermometer – the internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F). You can also toast the burger buns in the airfryer for a few minutes to make them warm and crispy.
