Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
  • ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 3 scallions, chopped
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 3 tablespoons neutral oil (plus more as needed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare flour: Add ⅓ cup all-purpose flour to a medium shallow bowl and set aside for coating the patties later.
  2. Beat egg: Crack 1 large egg into a large mixing bowl and whisk it thoroughly until well beaten.
  3. Mix ingredients: To the bowl with the beaten egg, add 1 pound ground chicken, 3 chopped scallions, ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley, 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Use your hands to combine all ingredients evenly into a cohesive mixture.
  4. Shape balls: Divide the chicken mixture into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion quickly between your palms to form smooth balls and place each one into the shallow bowl of flour.
  5. Form patties: Roll each chicken ball in the flour, coating all sides. Then gently press each floured ball to form flattened patties. Arrange the formed patties on a large plate and set aside.
  6. Heat skillet: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 tablespoons of neutral oil, swirling or tilting the pan to evenly coat the surface. Heat the oil until it becomes hot and shimmery.
  7. Cook first side: Carefully add several chicken patties to the hot skillet without overcrowding. Cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes until the underside is golden brown.
  8. Flip and cook second side: Flip the patties over and cook for an additional 2 to 4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160° Fahrenheit using a meat thermometer.
  9. Drain excess oil: Transfer cooked patties to a bed of paper towels to absorb excess oil. For extra crispiness, place a wire cooling rack over the paper towels and transfer the patties onto it directly from the skillet.
  10. Repeat and serve: Repeat the cooking process with remaining uncooked patties. Serve the chicken patties warm as desired.

Notes

  • Use plain or seasoned breadcrumbs depending on your flavor preference.
  • If you prefer a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour and breadcrumbs with gluten-free alternatives.
  • Neutral oil can be vegetable, canola, or sunflower oil for best frying results.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet to ensure even cooking and proper crispiness.
  • Internal temperature of 160°F ensures the chicken is safely cooked.
  • For extra crispiness, cooling racks help drain oil without sogging the patties.
