→ For Frying & Coating
10 -
½ cup of plain breadcrumbs
11 -
¼ cup of olive oil for pan-frying
# Instructions:
01 -
Toss your diced chicken into a food processor along with the mayo, mustard, eggs, and all your seasonings (garlic, thyme, salt, black pepper, and cayenne). Pulse everything together until you've got a well-combined mixture that holds together nicely.
02 -
Warm up the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. While that's heating, scoop out about ¼ cup of the chicken mixture, shape it into a patty with your hands, then press it gently into the breadcrumbs to coat both sides evenly.
03 -
Place your breaded patties into the hot skillet and let them sizzle for 3 to 4 minutes without moving them. Carefully flip each patty over and continue cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes until they're beautifully golden brown and crispy on both sides.
04 -
Once they're perfectly crispy, transfer your patties to a serving dish and enjoy them right away while they're still hot and crunchy.
# Notes:
01 -
For the best results, place your finished patties on a wire cooling rack instead of paper towels. This lets air circulate underneath and keeps them from getting soggy on the bottom.
02 -
These patties are perfect for making chicken burgers - just pop them in a bun with your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomato, and special sauce.
