Directions

  1. Place ground chicken in a bowl. Add onion powder, salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, chili powder, and paprika. Mix well.
  2. Shape the mixture into patties and freeze for 5 minutes to firm up.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare your coating: mix breadcrumbs with more paprika, chili powder, and cayenne.
  4. Coat each chilled patty thoroughly in the seasoned breadcrumbs.
  5. Air fry or bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 15 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
  6. For the sauce: mix mayonnaise, mustard, and garlic powder until combined.
  7. Toast your burger buns in a skillet with a bit of butter until golden—about 3 minutes.
  8. To assemble: spread some sauce on the bottom bun, add the crispy chicken patty, more sauce, and finish with a handful of lettuce. Top with the upper bun and serve hot.
