What it is
These are pre-formed patties made from ground chicken. They are typically seasoned and ready to be cooked. The chicken is processed and shaped into a convenient disc. This makes them easy to handle and cook quickly. They are a common item found in the frozen food section of many grocery stores.
How people cook with it
Chicken patties are a versatile ingredient for quick meals. They can be used in a variety of dishes, from simple sandwiches to more elaborate plates.

- Appetizer component
To prepare, cook the patties from frozen. They can be pan-fried in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown and cooked through. Alternatively, they can be baked in an oven or heated in an air fryer. Ensure the internal temperature reaches a safe level before serving. They are often served on a bun with toppings or alongside vegetables and grains.
