How do you make burgers with ground chicken?

Using ground chicken instead of ground beef is the same. The only thing is that the meat is a bit leaner than ground beef.

The recipe will be the same. Since there is less fat in the meat, I added some mayonnaise which will give it a bit of fat to the recipe, which will keep your burger moist and delicious as it cooks up.

Add your favorite toppings, today, I added a piece of cheddar cheese, but that’s optional. Add all of your favorite vegetables to keep this a great Healthy Air Fryer Dinner Recipe.

Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Ground Chicken Burgers

How To Make Air Fryer Ground Chicken Burgers

Mix the ground chicken breast, minced garlic, lemon juice, parsley, dill, chives, mayonnaise, salt, black pepper, and breadcrumbs in a large mixing bowl. Mix well.

As you form the chicken burgers, place them into a greased air fryer basket (sprayed with cooking spray) or add a piece to parchment paper.

Spray the tops of the chicken burgers with cooking spray, which will help them reach the golden brown color.

Set the temperature to 350 degrees F, air fryer setting, for 10-15 minutes. Or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.

Pro Tips:

• You do not need to preheat your air fryer for this recipe. The recipe will work better if the Air Fryer Ground Chicken Burgers are cooked in a cold air fryer. 
• If you want to add cheese, add it, then air fry for a couple of seconds, remove ehn the cheese is melted.  
• Once the meat is combined, stop mixing it, otherwise you will end up with dense chicken burgers. 
• Either use a piece of parchment paper or spray your basket with cooking spray. I highly recommend that you use parchment paper, which will make it easier for you to flip your burgers. 
• Spending on the air fryer that you own, you may need to flip your burgers, halfway during the cooking process. This will allow both sides to fully cook up. 
• This recipe will work in any Air Fryer rBakst or Oven Model, including the Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Crips Lid and all other models. The recipe will remain the same. The cooking time may vary.
