  2. Form the Patties: Divide the chicken mixture into equal portions and shape them into patties, about ½ inch thick.
  3. Preheat Your Cooking Surface: Preheat your grill, skillet, or air fryer to medium heat (about 375°F/190°C).
  4. Cook the Patties: Place the patties onto the hot cooking surface and cook for about 5-7 minutes on one side.
