🍗 Air Fryer Chicken Rissoles
Ingredients (Makes ~8 medium rissoles)
-
500 g (1 lb) ground chicken
-
1 small onion, finely chopped
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
½ cup breadcrumbs (plus extra for coating)
-
1 egg
-
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
-
1 tsp salt
-
½ tsp black pepper
-
½ tsp paprika (optional)
-
1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional for flavor)
-
1–2 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Make the mixture
-
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, parsley, salt, pepper, paprika, and mustard.
-
Mix until well combined. Avoid overmixing to keep rissoles tender.
2. Shape the rissoles
-
Wet your hands slightly. Shape the mixture into small patties (about 2–3 inches in diameter).
-
Optional: lightly coat each rissole in extra breadcrumbs for a crispier crust.
3. Preheat air fryer
-
Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (350°F) for 3–5 minutes.
4. Cook the rissoles
-
Lightly brush or spray rissoles with olive oil.
-
Place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer (don’t overcrowd).
-
Cook 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
5. Serve
-
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, salad, or in a sandwich bun.
🌟 Tips
-
Extra flavor: Add 1 tsp smoked paprika, ½ tsp chili flakes, or 1 tsp grated Parmesan to the mix.
-
Moist rissoles: Don’t overcook; air fry in batches if needed for even cooking.
-
Variations: Add grated carrot, zucchini, or corn for extra veggies.
If you want, I can give a shortcut version using store-bought rotisserie chicken to make even quicker air fryer chicken rissoles. Do you want that version?
