Instructions
1. Prepare the Chicken Mixture
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, oregano, egg, mayonnaise, and parsley.
- Mix everything together until well combined, but don’t overwork the mixture—this keeps the patties tender.
2. Shape the Patties
- Divide the mixture into 4-6 equal portions, depending on how large you want your patties.
- Shape each portion into a flat, round patty about ½ inch thick.
3. Prepare the Crispy Coating
- In one shallow bowl, whisk together 1 egg and 2 tablespoons of milk.
- In another shallow bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, and flour.
- Dip each chicken patty into the egg mixture, then coat it evenly in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks well.
4. Cook the Chicken Patties
- Heat ¼ cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the chicken patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and fully cooked inside (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C).
- Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
5. Serve and Enjoy!
- Serve the crispy chicken patties as a burger on a toasted bun with lettuce, tomato, and your favorite sauce.
- Pair them with a side of fries, salad, or coleslaw for a delicious meal.
- Serve over rice with a drizzle of garlic sauce or spicy mayo.

Tips for the Best Crispy Chicken Patties
✔ Use Panko Breadcrumbs – These give a crunchier texture compared to regular breadcrumbs.
✔ Don’t Overmix – Overworking the chicken mixture can make the patties tough. Mix just until combined.
✔ Chill Before Cooking – If you have time, refrigerate the shaped patties for 15-20 minutes to help them hold their shape while cooking.
✔ Use a Meat Thermometer – Chicken should reach an internal temp of 165°F (74°C) for perfect doneness.
✔ Try Air Frying or Baking –
- Air Fryer: Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Oven: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping once for even crispiness.
