Ingredients :
1 pound ground chicken
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup finely chopped bell pepper (any color)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried parsley)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
Preparation :
Prepare the Mixture:
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, onion, bell pepper, garlic, beaten egg, parsley, salt, black pepper, paprika, and oregano.
Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Shape the Patties:
Divide the mixture into 6-8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the Oil:
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Cook the Patties:
Add the chicken patties to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
The internal temperature of the patties should reach 165°F (74°C).
Serve:
Remove the patties from the skillet and drain on paper towels if needed.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or as a sandwich with buns, lettuce, tomatoes, and condiments.
For perfect crispy chicken patties, start by using cold ingredients and avoid overmixing the mixture to keep the patties tender.
Chilling the patties for 15-20 minutes before cooking helps them hold their shape.
For a crunchier texture, opt for panko breadcrumbs instead of regular ones.
Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption, and cook the patties in batches to prevent overcrowding, which can reduce crispiness.
After frying, drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
For a healthier alternative, bake or air fry the patties, and always serve them fresh for the best texture and flavor.
To store crispy chicken patties, first allow them to cool completely before placing them in an airtight container or wrapping them tightly in foil or plastic wrap.
They can be refrigerated for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, freeze the patties by first arranging them in a single layer on a baking sheet until firm, then transferring them to a freezer-safe container or bag with parchment paper between layers.
Frozen patties can be stored for up to 3 months.
When ready to eat, reheat refrigerated patties in a skillet, oven, or air fryer until heated through and crispy.
Frozen patties can be reheated directly or thawed overnight in the refrigerator for best results.
