Time 30m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb ground chicken, white meat
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs, pre seasoned
1 teaspoon milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
breading
1/2 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 pepper
1 large egg, beaten, add a splash of water to thin if desired
1 cup dry breadcrumbs, pre seasoned, may use less
2 -3 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

In a bowl: Add ground chicken, egg, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder together. Add in bread crumbs, milk, gently combine with hands. Set aside.
In 3 shallow bowls: Bowl 1: beaten egg with water. Bowl 2: seasoned flour with salt & pepper, Bowl 3: seasoned bread crumbs.
Using 1/3 cup measuring cup as a measuring tool, scoop out your burger portions.
HINT: I found it was less messy to drop the scoop of meat into the flour, turn it over, lift it out of the flour, then form into patty.
Coat both sides of chicken patty with flour, dip in egg wash, then pat into the breadcrumbs to coat.
At this point I placed patties on a platter, covered with plastic wrap and put them in the fridge for 1-2 hours. This step is not necessary but can be done ahead of time. It will allow the flavors to develop.
Panfry in (4 Tablespoons) cooking oil for about 4 minutes on each side. *add a little oil at a time, add more when you flip the chicken if necessary. Add more cooking time if your burgers are plump. Do not over cook or they will dry out.
Serving suggestions: on soft buns with sliced dill pickles, mayonaise, honey mustard or spicy , tomato slices and lettuce or whatever you like.
