Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken burgers
  • 4 burger buns
  • toppings of choice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your air fryer to 360F. If your air fryer doesn't have a preheat setting, simply let it run at 360F for 4-5 minutes.
  • Spray your air fryer basket with non-stick spray. And place your chicken patties in a single layer for best results. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do this in batches.
  • Cook at 360F for 10-12 minutes. You can always use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the burgers. Chicken should always be 165F.
  • Let the patties cool for 1-2 minutes and then assemble your burgers!
  • Enjoy with a side salad, french fries, or pasta salad.

Notes

Homemade chicken burgers 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 lb of lean ground chicken breast, ½ cup of panko breadcrumbs, 1 egg, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. 
  2. Mix well and form into patties. You should be able to get 4 patties out of this chicken mixture.

Substitutions and variations

Ground Turkey. You can absolutely make this with ground turkey instead of ground chicken. Keep the cooking time and temperature the same. 
Buns. I think brioche buns are the best for any burger, but you can serve these on pretzel buns, Hawaiian buns, potato buns, or even a lettuce wrap. 
Buffalo Chicken Burgers. Pair your chicken patty with buffalo sauce, cheddar cheese, or bleu cheese, a crisp slice of lettuce for a tasty burger. 
BBQ Chicken Burgers. Grab your favorite BBQ sauce, butter lettuce, and red onion to make a deliciously sweet and tangy chicken burger in the air fryer.
