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, for air fryer basket
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly combine ground chicken, fresh breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, egg, chopped parsley or cilantro, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is well blended.
- Form Patties: Shape the chicken mixture into small, approximately 1-inch thick patties, ensuring they are uniform in size for even cooking.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to prepare it for cooking the rissoles.
- Prepare Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking and arrange the rissoles inside without overcrowding, allowing air to circulate properly.
- Cook Rissoles: Air fry the rissoles for 12 to 15 minutes, turning if needed, until they are golden brown on the outside and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh parsley with cilantro depending on your preference.
- Ensure the rissoles are not overcrowded in the air fryer for even cooking and a crispy texture.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness to ensure the chicken is fully cooked.
- Leftover rissoles can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
- For extra crispiness, spray a little olive oil on top of the rissoles before cooking.
