Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Rissoles

  • 500g ground chicken
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mixture. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, egg, and parsley. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Form the rissoles. Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each into a flat, round patty approximately 3 inches in diameter and about ½ inch thick.
  3. Preheat the air fryer. Set your air fryer to 200°C (390°F) and allow it to preheat for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  4. Cook the rissoles. Lightly brush each rissole with olive oil to promote crispiness. Place the rissoles in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap.
  5. Air fry until done. Cook the rissoles at 200°C for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time to achieve even browning. The internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F) to ensure they are fully cooked.
  6. Rest and serve. Once cooked, let the rissoles rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute for maximum flavor and juiciness.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh herbs like thyme or oregano for parsley to vary the flavor.
  • If you prefer a gluten-free option, use gluten-free breadcrumbs.
  • For extra moisture, you can add 1 tablespoon of grated onion or finely chopped bell pepper to the mixture.
  • Ensure the rissoles are not overcrowded in the air fryer for best results.
  • Serve hot with a side salad or your favorite dipping sauce.
