In a large bowl, combine the chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, garlic and onion powders, paprika, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Form the mixture into 4 equally sized, round patties (133g), about ½-inch thick.
Spray the basket of the air fryer with olive oil spray. Place the patties in the basket in a single layer (it’s ok if the edges touch slightly!). Brush the tops with the olive oil.
Air fry at 400 for 7 minutes. Flip the patties and cook an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature of each patty is at least 165°F.

For juicy chicken burgers, use ground chicken that is 93/7 (93% meat and 7% fat). If the ground chicken is leaner than that, the patties can turn out dry.
For more umami flavor, add 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce to boost the savory flavors of the patties and give more of a beef burger flavor.
To easily transfer patties to the air fryer, form the patties and place them on squares of parchment paper. Flip the paper and patty (patty side down) into the air fryer basket and peel off the parchment.
If your air fryer basket is small, cook in batches. Depending on the size of your air fryer, the basket may be too small to accommodate all four patties at once. If that’s the case, simply work in batches, fitting as many as you can at once without the patties touching.
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Ground chicken is safe to eat once cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F, so I like to check the center of each patty with an instant-read thermometer before removing them from the air fryer.
