Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground chicken
- 1 egg
- ½ cup plain bread crumbs
- 1 oz ranch seasoning mix (1 packet)
- 3 garlic cloves, smashed and minced
- ½ cup finely diced onion
- ½ cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
- 2–3 tablespoons oil, for frying (vegetable or avocado oil recommended)
- Burger buns or sandwich rolls
- Lettuce, tomato, pickles
- Extra ranch dressing or cheese slices
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, bread crumbs, ranch seasoning, minced garlic, diced onion, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix just until combined—do not overmix.
- Divide the mixture into 6–8 equal portions and shape each into round, flattened patties about ½ to ¾ inch thick.
- Place the patties on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 15–30 minutes to help them hold their shape.
- Heat 2–3 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the patties in batches for 4–5 minutes per side or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm on buns with your choice of toppings, or enjoy as-is with your favorite sides.
