In a mixing bowl, blend together ground chicken, grated onion, chopped garlic, olive oil, breadcrumbs, parsley, salt, and pepper until evenly mixed.
Next, shape the mixture into 6 patties of equal size (approx 105 grams each) using the palm of your hands. Slightly dampen your palm with water to prevent sticking while forming the patties.
Place the patties in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they have some space between them.
Cook the patties in the air fryer at 360°F (180°C) for 12-13 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature of the patties reaches 165°F (74°C) when a meat thermometer is inserted.
Notes
To achieve that crispy exterior, make sure to arrange your chicken patties in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
While air fryers are known for their speed, it's important to keep an eye on your chicken patties to avoid overcooking. Depending on the thickness of your patties, they may cook faster or slower than expected.
Shape the patties into similar sizes for even cooking, preventing smaller ones from overcooking while larger ones finish.To ensure the patties are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should register 165°F (74°C) when inserted into the thickest part of the patty.
Feel free to adjust the seasonings to suit your taste preferences. You can add additional herbs, spices, or even a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor.
