Description
Juicy and flavorful, these gluten-free chicken patties are super easy and can be made both in the air fryer or pan-fried. Serve them on a burger bun or with a side of salad, accompanied with your dipping sauce of choice!
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast, chopped into small cubes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons sunflower oil
Instructions
- Combine Chicken, Spices, Dill and Egg: Put the chopped chicken breast in a bowl, add salt and spices, as well as chopped dill and an egg. Mix thoroughly.
- Add Mayonnaise and Mustard: Add mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Mix again.
- Add Cornstarch: Add cornstarch and mix thoroughly, breaking up any lumps.
- Let Chicken Marinate: Cover the bowl with cling film and let rest for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Stovetop Method: Heat up the oil in a frying pan. Spoon out 1/4 cup of chicken mixture and fry over medium heat for 4 minutes (you should be able to cook 2 or 3 patties at once). Flip Patties Over: Turn the chicken patties over and fry for another 3 minutes, covering the pan with a lid. If desired, you can put the finished fritters on napkins to absorb excess fat.
- Air Fryer Method: Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper and brush the parchment paper with frying oil. Spoon out a small amount of chicken mixture for each patty and place on top of parchment. You should be able to fit 3-4 patties in the basket. Fry in air at 360F for 7 minutes. With a spatula, flip the fritters to the second side and fry for another 3-4 minutes. Repeat until all the chicken mixture is used up.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the chicken patties in a burger bun or alone, accompanied with sauce/dip of choice (such as BBQ sauce, sriracha chili sauce, garlic aioli, mayonnaise etc).
Notes
Ground Coriander: I like adding a bit of ground coriander for flavor, but you may also use other spices instead (such as ground cumin, curry powder or garam masala).
Granulated Garlic: I love the taste that granulated garlic adds to these gluten-free chicken patties, so I recommend that you definitely add this in. You may also use garlic powder or dried minced garlic. Alternatively, you can also use very finely minced fresh garlic if you prefer.
Dill: I like the taste that fresh dill imparts, but if you’re not a fan of dill, go ahead and use fresh parsley, cilantro, spring onions or chives instead.
Egg: The egg helps to bind the ingredients together. If you wish to keep this recipe egg-free, you can try substituting the egg with acquafaba or an egg-replacer.
Mustard: I used Dijon mustard, but you can use yellow mustard or honey mustard too if you prefer.
Mayonnaise: I used regular mayonnaise but you may also use egg-free mayonnaise if you prefer.
Cornstarch: Cornstarch acts as a binder for the ingredients, but you can also use tapioca starch, arrowroot starch or gluten-free all-purpose flour instead. Alternatively, if you are not Celiac or gluten-intolerant, go ahead and use regular flour instead.
Oil: I like using sunflower oil because I always have a bottle of it on hand. However, you can also use another vegetable oil instead (such as canola oil, olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil).
Storing/Freezing: To store, place the cooled gluten-free chicken fritters in an airtight container and store for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave, in the skillet or air fryer before eating. To freeze, place these easy chicken patties in an airtight container separated by plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. Let the patties thaw completely overnight in the refrigerator before reheating and eating.
