- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (180°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Mix Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, beaten egg, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Shape the Rissoles:
- Take about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture and shape it into oval or round patties (rissoles) using your hands. Repeat until all the mixture is used up, making about 8-10 rissoles.
- Grease Air Fryer Basket:
- Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush with oil to prevent sticking.
- Air Fry the Rissoles:
- Arrange the rissoles in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each one for even cooking.
- Cooking Time:
- Air fry at 370°F (180°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking, until the rissoles are golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Serve:
- Remove the chicken rissoles from the air fryer basket and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a salad or vegetables.
Tips for Success
- Uniform size: Shape the rissoles evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate.
- Adjust seasonings: Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your taste preferences. You can add herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.
- Air fryer variations: Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the size and model of your air fryer. Adjust cooking times as needed.
Serving Suggestions
- Dipping sauce: Serve with garlic aioli, barbecue sauce, or a yogurt-based dip.
- Side dishes: Pair with steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
