Notes
- To Cook Patties in the Air Fryer:
- To Grill Patties:
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F.
- Cook 11-15 minutes flipping the patties after 6 minutes.
- Cook time is approximate, air fryers can vary. Check the patties early using an instant-read thermometer until they reach 165°F. Do not overcook.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill 6-8 minutes per side or until cooked through (165°F).
- Combine the patty ingredients just until mixed.
- Choose lean chicken (not extra lean), a little bit of fat keeps them juicy.
- Cooking the onion softens both the texture and flavor. If you don't have time to pan fry it, microwave it with a splash of water until tender.
- Chicken is lean, do not overcook it. The center of the patties should reach 165°F.
- Heat the marinara and put it on the chicken patties in the pan. Top with cheese and cover or broil a few minutes to melt.
