INGREDIENTS FOR FROZEN CHICKEN PATTIES SANDWICH

• frozen chicken patties - There are many different brands, but my favorite brand to use is Tyson chicken patties. They're found in the frozen section at the grocery store.
• brioche buns - I love to use the store bakery for homemade brioche buns.
• tomato - optional topping for more flavor
• slice of cheese - If you love cheese, make sure you grab a slice of American, Cheddar, or your favorite cheese.
• lettuce - I prefer fresh romain or iceberg lettuce. 

HOW TO COOK FROZEN CHICKEN PATTIES IN THE AIR FRYER

Step 1: Preheat the air fryer for 3 minutes at 360°F (180°C).

Step 2: Place the Tyson frozen chicken patties in a single layer in the prepared air fryer basket.

Step 3: Air fry the chicken patties at 360°F (182°C) for 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Add an additional minute or two for extra crispy patties.

Step 4: Carefully remove the chicken patties from the air fryer basket, add them to hamburger buns, and top with your favorite toppings.

NOTE: This recipe was made using a Cosori air fryer. If you're using a different air fryer, for best results, make sure you keep an eye on the chicken patties while they cook.

This is my favorite way to make this easy chicken burger; it only takes 10 minutes!

TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST CHICKEN PATTIES IN THE AIR FRYER

• Preheat Your Air Fryer: Always preheat your air fryer to around 360°F (180°C) before cooking. This helps cook the chicken patties evenly and makes them crispy.
• Avoid Overcrowding: Place the chicken patties in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking and less crispiness. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches.
• Flip Halfway Through: Cook the chicken patties for about 8 to 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. This ensures they are evenly crispy and golden on both sides.
• Check for Doneness: Ensure the chicken patties reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness for safety.

CHICKEN PATTIE SANDWICH VARIATIONS

• Flavor. Add flavor to these chicken patties by choosing different cheese options such as mozzarella, gouda, cheddar, Colby jack, or American. 
• Bread. Use different breads and buns such as brioche buns, wheat buns, white rolls, ciabatta bread, or plain toasted bread.
• Seasoning. For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of your favorite seasoning just before or right after cooking. You can also top them with cheese during the last minute of cooking to get a melty topping.
• Sauce. Change up the flavors by adding sauces such as BBQ sauce, ketchup, mustard, Ranch, honey mustard, or even a zesty burger sauce.
