Chicken Patties
Description
This chicken patties recipe mixes ground chicken with half the panko breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, and a blend of spices including garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. This mixture is sticky and delicate, formed into oval patties, which are then rolled in remaining panko breadcrumbs to form a crispy outer layer.
Frying in olive oil over moderate heat produces golden brown, crisp exteriors while maintaining moist, tender insides. Managing heat carefully during cooking prevents burning the patties before they cook through. The texture is tender yet with a light crunchy coating. The combination of seasonings adds depth and subtle tanginess.
These patties serve well as a main dish with sides or in sandwiches. Using an instant-read thermometer helps monitor doneness for safe, juicy results.
To avoid overcooking, cook the patties slower on moderate heat rather than high heat. Adding a little extra panko when forming the patties can help maintain shape and texture.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs divided
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- black pepper to taste
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 1 tablespoon Italian parsley chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Add half the panko breadcrumbs and all remaining ingredients except for the olive oil to a fairly large bowl.
- Prepare 2 plates: one with the remaining panko breadcrumbs, and the other will be used to place the formed chicken patties on before you fry them.
- Using your hands, gently mix the patty ingredients together (mixture will be quite wet and a bit sticky).
- Divide the mixture into 4 parts (just do this within the same bowl). You'll be making 4 oval patties, one at a time, since they're quite delicate. Form the patty, gently roll it in the panko breadcrumbs until evenly coated, then place it on the second plate. Repeat until all 4 patties are made. If needed, add a little bit more panko to the plate if you're running out by the time you get to the last patty. Aim to make the patties roughly the same size/thickness and try not to make them too tall or they won't cook through properly.
- Add the olive oil to a skillet over medium heat. Let the pan heat up for a couple of minutes.
- In two batches, cook the patties for 5-6 minutes/side or until they're cooked through. You may need to add more oil to the pan for the second batch. The second batch tends to cook faster, so you may need to turn the heat down a bit, especially if using cast iron so they don't burn on the outside before cooking through. Patties will continue to cook a little bit after you take them off the heat. Use an instant read thermometer to ensure they're 165F and safe to eat.
- Serve chicken patties immediately. I served them with homemade remoulade sauce, rice, and salad. The blog post includes more serving suggestions and tips.
Notes
- Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure patties are fully cooked without overcooking.
- Cook patties over moderate heat to prevent burning the outside before the inside is done.
- Adding extra panko breadcrumbs when forming patties helps them hold shape better.
