Why you should cook chicken patties

This recipe for chicken patties is perfect for busy families because it takes very little time to prepare. The mixture is easy to handle and stays juicy even after frying. You can easily adjust the spices to suit your own taste if you prefer a bit more heat. These are a great alternative to traditional beef burgers and feel much lighter to eat.

Step by step: chicken patties

Step 1

Prepare the mixture: Place the ground chicken in a large mixing bowl. Add the onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg and seasonings. Mix the ingredients until they are combined well.

Step 2

Form the shapes: Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then gently flatten it with the palm of your hand. Make sure the chicken patties are of even thickness so they cook at the same rate.

Step 3

Fry the meat: Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Carefully place the prepared patties into the hot pan. Fry them for about five minutes on the first side until they are golden brown.

Step 4

Finish and serve: Turn the pieces over using a spatula and cook for another five minutes on the other side. Check that the meat is cooked all the way through and no longer pink in the middle. Remove them from the pan and let them rest for a minute before serving.

Useful tips for chicken patties

If you want to ensure the chicken patties are moist inside you can add a little grated zucchini to the mix. Make sure to squeeze out any excess water from the vegetables first so the patties do not become too soft. You can also coat the outside in extra breadcrumbs for a crunchier finish when frying in the oil. It is important to cook them over a medium heat so the outside does not burn before the middle is ready.

For a different flavour you could add some lemon zest or chopped chillies to the meat mixture. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. When you reheat the chicken patties you should do so in a pan to keep them from getting soggy. Always make sure the meat reaches the correct internal temperature for safety.
