Air fryer chicken rissoles
Why we love this rissoles recipe
These air fryer chicken rissoles are just so versatile. Serve as we suggest with salad and a honey mustard dressing during summer or with mash and gravy in winter or you could also pop them in burger buns along with some air-fried bacon and aioli and serve with sweet potato chips.
What do you need for air fryer chicken patties?
- Chicken mince: chicken mince is a low fat, budget-friendly ingredient. Because of its neutral flavour it’s perfect for children’s meals. Check out these family friendly chicken mince recipes
- Panko: panko breadcrumbs are made from Japanese bread that has been flaked and dried, resulting in large “crumbs”. Not only are they ideal for coating and then frying food, they also make an excellent binder, soaking up the excess liquid to allow the chicken rissoles to become crisp.
- Parmesan: finely grated parmesan adds a nice salty kick as well as being another binder to hold the air fryer rissoles together.
- Green shallots: rather than having to fry off onion to flavour your chicken rissoles, thinly sliced green shallots add that same oniony hit, but in a milder way.
- Zucchini: it’s the grated zucchini that makes these rissoles so tender, as well as adding fibre and antioxidants to this healthy meal.
- Honey mustard dressing: we make our own quick dressing, but you use a bought one or swap for some caramelised onions or tomato relish.
Air fryers certainly make light work of dinners. In fact, you can create a whole balanced dinner in one like our website.
