Equipment

Air Fryer

Ingredients

1 pound ground chicken
1 large egg
½ cup onion chopped
2 garlic cloves minced
½ cup panko crumbs (I used Italian seasoned panko crumbs) + additional panko if you want to coat burgers prior to air frying
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
4 slices cheddar cheese or try pepper jack or mozzarella cheese (optional)
4 burger buns (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 390°F.
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, panko crumbs, salt and pepper. DO NOT OVERMIX!
Pat into 4 equal sized patties.
Option: Pour a little extra panko crumbs on a plate and dip the chicken patties into the crumbs, patting them in lightly. This will make the burgers crunchier.
Once the air fryer is preheated, spray the basket with cooking oil spray, then carefully lay the burgers in the bottom. Spray the tops of the burgers with more cooking oil spray.
Air fry for 10 minutes turning halfway through.
If you would like a slice of cheese on top, lay it on top of the burger and let it melt slightly then turn the air fryer on for another 20 seconds. Be careful because the slice can fly off the burger when the air circulates.
Serve burgers as is or place them on a burger bun complete with lettuce, tomato, and a little barbecue sauce. Sliced avocado and a red onion slice are also great on them.
