Gather all Ingredients

To get started, you’ll need the following ingredients:

To make this recipe, you will need the following ingredients: ground chicken (I like to use ground chicken breast, but chicken thighs will work too), onion, bread crumbs (panko bread crumbs or gluten free are great options), egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and whole wheat burger buns (gluten free or low carb buns can also be used).

Optional toppings – use your favorites: lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, cheese, avocado, mayonnaise, mustard, and/or ketchup.

  3. Air fry

    Finally, place chicken patties to the air fryer basket and cook at 380°F for 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Flip the patties over and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Serve with your favorite toppings and condiments.
