How to Make Chicken Patties?
Homemade chicken patties are extremely easy to make. They are made of the following ingredients:
- Ground chicken, 90% lean with 10% fat.
- Chopped scallions.
- Cooking wine. I used Japanese Mirin or sweet rice wine.
- Toasted sesame oil.
- Cayenne pepper to make it slightly spicy.
- Salt and pepper.
To make the patty mixture, just combine all the ingredients together. To shape the chicken patties, wet both hands with water.
Scoop up with an ice cream scoop and shape the ground chicken mixture into a ball, flatten with hands and pan-fry with a little bit of oil.
Cook’s Tips
The best chicken patties should be juicy and moist. However, most store-bought patties such as Costco, Foster Farms are all breaded, dry and tasteless.
Follow my cooking tips, techniques and secrets below for the best ever homemade chicken patties.
- DO NOT use breadcrumbs or panko in the ingredients. Breadcrumbs soak up the natural juice in the ground chicken, making the patty dry with a grainy texture. DO NOT coat the patties with breadcrumbs, too.
- Shallow fry the patties on a skillet with just a little bit of cooking oil. DO NOT deep fry.
- Add 1 tablespoon of cooking wine (you can use white wine or Japanese sweet rice wine “mirin”) into the ground chicken mixture. This will ensure that the patties are bursting with juicy flavors.

Have tried a few of your recipes, all have been great. This recipe has good flavor, I baked them so the colour is not golden brown. Will definitely pan fry them the next time. Thanks.

I chopped up a whole jalapeño and some carrot. Did not have mirin, so I added balsamic and did not have sesame oil
Still turned out way tasty
Thanks so much

Sounds good. For mirin, you should replace with white wine.
Katie
Do you include the cooking oil in the mixture when you add all the ingredients? Honestly I’ve done it both ways and it works out fine but what are you actually supposed to do?

Great recipe! I didn’t have cooking wine, so I substituted rice vinegar. I didn’t have scallion so substituted onion. And I didn’t have cayenne pepper so I substituted paprika. But it turned out really well! The last time I had made chicken meatball patties, from a different recipe, they turned up dry and disappointing, but these are moist and delicious. Thank you!
