What’s the Point of Cooking a Chicken Burger in the Air Fryer?

Well, here are a few points that can make you run to the kitchen and try this recipe right now:

  • Simple to prepare
  • Easy clean-up
  • Suitable for all seasons
  • Kids love it (even elders do)

The foundation of a delicious chicken burger is a juicy, tender, and perfectly cooked chicken patty, and the air fryer does wonders to keep it tender and cook it fast, evenly without overcooking.

Serving Ideas:

  • Serve the crispy chicken burger with mustard, mayonnaise, ketchup, American cheese, pickles, and tomatoes, just like a standard hamburger.
  • Or you may add BBQ sauce instead, alongside some sliced avocado.
  • With cheese, BBQ sauces, and grilled pineapple, make it a Hawaiian-style burger.
  • For a chicken bacon burger, top it with cheddar cheese and crispy bacon.

Instructions for Preparing Air Fryer Crispy Chicken Burger in Advance:

You can easily make the chicken burger patties in advance and store them in your refrigerator for no more than 4 days. If you want to store it for a long time, you can place it in the freezer for up to a month. Before reheating in an air fryer or the microwave, please bring it to room temperature.

  • Like burger patties, the sauce can also be prepared for burgers in advance, as you can also store it in the refrigerator for 4 days.
  • You can toast up the buns several hours in advance.
  • When you want to serve, assemble the chicken burger just before it.
  • You may also substitute lettuce wraps for the burger buns if you want to make a low-carb chicken burger.
