Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Rissoles
- 1 lb (450g) ground chicken
- 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
- ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
- ¼ tsp black pepper (or to taste)
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, fresh breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, egg, chopped parsley or cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Form Patties: Shape the chicken mixture into small patties approximately 1 inch thick, ensuring they hold together well.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even cooking and a crispy texture.
- Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking. Arrange the rissoles in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding to allow hot air circulation.
- Cook Rissoles: Air fry the rissoles for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway if desired, until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
- Serve: Remove the rissoles and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or sides for a delicious meal.
Notes
- Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- You can substitute fresh parsley with cilantro depending on your taste preference.
- Use a meat thermometer to guarantee the chicken is cooked thoroughly.
- For extra flavor, consider adding finely chopped onions or green chilies to the mixture.
- These rissoles can be frozen before cooking; just increase cooking time slightly when air frying from frozen.
