Ingredients

1 lb ground chicken

1 egg

1/3 cup breadcrumbs

1/4 cup grated onion

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp paprika

2–3 tbsp oil for frying

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, grated onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix until just combined.

2. Lightly oil your hands and shape the mixture into equal-sized patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

3. Heat 2–3 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

4. Place patties in the skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F).

5. Transfer cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate. Let them rest a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overmix the chicken mixture—this helps the patties stay tender.

Grated onion adds extra moisture and flavor—don’t skip it.

Use a thermometer to ensure patties reach 165°F for safe and juicy results.
