While I have all the ingredients out, I like to make a big batch of these chicken burgers and freeze them.

Ingredients

  • 3 chicken breasts, minced

  • 200g breadcrumbs

  • 2 eggs

  • 150g flour

  • 1 tbsp garlic granules

  • 1tsp paprika

  • Salt and pepper

  • 200ml rapeseed oil/sunflower/veg oil

  • 50g butter

  • To serve

  • 4 burger buns

  • 50g mayonnaise

  • Iceberg lettuce

Method

  1. Divide the chicken mixture into four equally sized balls and use your hands or a burger press to make burger patties.

  2. Place the breadcrumbs into a large bowl. Crack the eggs into another bowl and whisk.

  3. Combine the flour, garlic granules, paprika and some salt and pepper in a third bowl.

  4. First, coat the burger patties in flour, one at a time, then dip them into the egg mixture and finally, coat them all over in breadcrumbs.

  5. Place the oil in a frying pan, add the butter, and melt on a medium to high heat. Once the butter is bubbling, carefully place the breaded burgers into the pan.

  6. Shallow fry on a medium heat until golden, before turning to fry the other sides.

  7. Ensure they are fully cooked through and golden all over.

  8. You can also cook them in the air fryer: spray with oil and air fry for 12-15 minutes at 170°C.

  9. Toast the burger buns and spread both buns with mayonnaise, add a generous serving of lettuce, and place the burger on top.
