Cooking Tips

Homemade chicken patties on a plate.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bake the chicken patties in an oven?

Yes, you can bake the patties in the oven. I recommend 425F for 8 minutes.

How to serve chicken patties?

There are many ways to serve the patties. You can eat the patty as is or serve with a dipping sauce such as teriyaki sauce. Another favorite way is to make them into chicken patty sandwich, with burger buns, mini slider buns or slices of bread.

Can I freeze raw chicken patties?

Yes, you sure can. After shaping them into patties, you can wrap them tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Freeze in the refrigerator for up to a few weeks. To cook, thaw the patties at room temperature before cooking. You can also freeze them after they are cooked. Just reheat in a microwave before serving.

Can I use other protein?

Yes, you can. You can use ground turkey, beef or pork. Other great option is salmon to make salmon patties.

How many calories per serving?

Each chicken patty is only 127 calories per serving. It’s low calories and very healthy!

    Hi Bee! I made your Ground Chicken Patties and it’s amazing how such a simple recipe could be so delicious! I added teriyaki at the end of the frying and served it with rice, fried pineapple slices & a cabbage/sweet pepper salad. Thank you for a great recipe!
