Ingredients

Crispy chicken - cooked in the air fryer

  • 600 g chicken mini fillets (inner fillets)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper
  • 250 ml panko breadcrumbs
  • 50 g Parmesan, finely grated (optional)
  • Cooking oil spray

Tartare sauce

  • 250 ml mayonnaise
  • 4-5 tbsp fresh herbs – I use dill, chives and parsley
  • 2 pickled gherkins, finely chopped (just over 50 ml)
  • 1 tbsp capers, finely chopped
  • 1-2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper

To serve

  • 4 burger buns
  • Fresh salad leaves – I use lamb's lettuce
  • Pickled red onions, optional – find the recipe here

Instructions

Crispy chicken - cooked in the air fryer

  • Mix the panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan and set aside.
  • Whisk the egg, oil and spices together well, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Turn the chicken thoroughly in the egg mixture, then coat the pieces in the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Place the chicken in the air fryer in a single layer and spray the tops with cooking oil spray.
  • Cook for about 12 minutes at 200°C on the air fryer setting.
    *Check the pieces after 6-8 minutes – in some air fryers the pieces need turning to crisp up on both sides. Remember to spray the newly exposed side with oil spray if you turn them.
    *If cooking the chicken in the oven, it needs about 20-25 minutes at 200°C. Spray both sides with oil spray and turn the pieces halfway through.
  • Season the chicken with a little salt after cooking.
    *If you would like to cook the chicken in oil or in the oven, see the method in the introduction.

Tartare sauce

  • Mix all the ingredients for the tartare sauce and season to taste with salt and pepper.
    *If you prefer a lighter tartare sauce, you can easily replace 1 - 1 1/2 dl (100-150 ml) of the mayonnaise with crème fraîche. This makes it less rich and adds more acidity.
    When I use my tartare sauce as a dip, I prefer to make it as described above, as it is then a little less heavy. When I use it in a burger, I make it with mayonnaise only.

  • Halve the burger buns and warm them in the oven, in the air fryer or on the barbecue.
  • Spread the burger buns with tartare sauce and top the bottom halves with fresh salad leaves, followed by the crispy chicken and pickled red onions, if using.
    Close the burger with the top half and serve straight away.
