Making the Minced Chicken Patty
Steps 1 -2) We first start by making bread crumbs and mincing the chicken using a food processor.
- Step 1: Take about 2 slices of bread and pulse to make bread crumbs. Keep it aside.
- Step 2: Next, mince the chicken and transfer it to a bowl.
Steps 3-4) Add the onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt to the minced chicken. Next, add the bread crumbs.
- Add the oil, spices, and salt.
- Step 4: Add the breadcrumbs
Steps 5-6) Finally, add chopped coriander leaves and mayonnaise if using, and combine well to form a dough. Take a scoop and shape them into patties by flattening them.
- Step 5: Add chopped coriander leaves and mix them all together.
- Step 6: Shape them into round shapes and flatten them. Refrigerate for about an hour.
Steps 7-8) Heat oil in an electric skillet and cook on medium heat, flipping on both sides until done.
- Step 7: Add a little oil to an electric skillet and heat on medium-high. Gently add the patties one by one and shallow fry.
- Step 8: Cook on both sides by flipping them until the chicken is well-cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165 deg F.
Recipe FAQs
To avoid the patties from drying out, do not overcook; the internal temperature should be 165°F. Adding fat content, like mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, can help retain moisture, and when possible, use thigh meat instead of chicken breast.
Use some binders like bread crumbs and refrigerate the patties before shallow frying to prevent them from falling apart.
Absolutely, bake them at 400°F for about 20 to 25 minutes, or air-fry at 390°F for 8 to 10 minutes. Ensure they are well-cooked.
Use a freezer-safe container or Ziploc, and they are good for about 3 months. Thaw and use as necessary.
