1 pound boneless, boneless skinless chicken thighs, or

1 pound ground chicken (though it’ll probably be breast meat and won’t be quite as good)

1/3 cup crushed pork rinds, or panko bread crumbs

1/2 tablespoon garlic powder

1/2 tablespoon onion powder

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper

Spray oil

1 cup flour

2 eggs, beaten

1.5 cups crushed corn flakes cereal

Hamburger buns

Lettuce for serving

Cut the chicken into 2 inch pieces, then put into a processor
Pulse on & off until it looks like ground chicken (not ground mush, ground chicken) and put into a bowl
Add the pork rinds, garlic & onion powders and salt & pepper - mix well and shape into 3 or 4 patties - refrigerate 30 minutes
While they rest, make the chili mayo - recipe below
When ready to cook, preheat air fryer to 400
In 3 bowls or plates: put the flour, the eggs and the cornflakes
Coat the patties first with the flour gently knocking off any excess, then the egg and finally the cornflakes - being sure they’re well covered at each step
Spray the bottom of the basket, put in the patties, lightly spray the tops and cook 8 minutes if 1/3 pound or 7 minutes if 1/4 pound
Gently flip over, spray again and cook another 7 minutes or until 175 degrees
Brush cut sides of bun with butter, and put back in the fryer 2-3 minutes or until they are lightly golden and crispy.
OPTIONAL: Beat an egg white with 1 tablespoon water, brush the bun top and sprinkle salt & pepper…a bit more chili powder, garlic powder, ground cumin or anything before cooking
Remove and build: bun, chili mayo, lettuce, gorgeous patty, more sauce and top bun
