Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup milk
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, onion, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
- Add Moisture: Gradually add the milk to the mixture, mixing until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing, as this can lead to tough patties.
- Form Patties: Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into flat, round patties.
- Cook the Patties:
- Pan-Frying: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the patties in the hot oil and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Baking: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the hot, juicy chicken patties on buns with your favorite condiments, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and your choice of sauce.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, add your favorite herbs and spices to the mixture.
- To make the patties extra crispy, dip them in a beaten egg before breading.
- For a healthier option, bake the patties instead of frying them.
- To ensure the patties stay juicy, avoid overcooking them.
