No problem at all!

You can always save them for later use. The best thing about air-fried chicken patties is that you can store them in an air-tight container for later use.

They will stay fresh for up to 4 days. So, you can make them in advance and enjoy them later. However, keep in mind that they should be completely cool when storing these in an air-tight container. Otherwise, they won't last that long.

Favorite Toppings

Everyone has a different definition of a perfect chicken burger.

For some, it is a chicken patty with loads of lettuce and garlic mayo, whereas, for others, it is piled high with tomatoes, relish, and ketchup.

Well, the best thing about a burger is that you can customize it according to your liking and mood.

If you are out of ideas on what to top your chicken patty within a burger, here are a few ideas you might like:

• Lettuce: The crunch from a fresh lettuce leaf adds so much texture to a burger. It is almost satisfying what this grassy, leafy vegetable does to your favorite burger.

• Tomatoes: The juiciness from the tomatoes elevates the flavor of your burger. It adds so much freshness to it.

• Onions: The sweet and savory flavor and crunch from onions are very tasteful.

• Pickles: Who doesn't like a kick to their burger? Adding pickled onions or cucumbers is such a fantastic idea and it gives your burger a new dimension.

• Cheese: Who can say no to a slice of sharp cheddar on your burger? And if it is a double slice, Ahh what more do you need?

Favorite Sauces

• Mayo: Whether it is classic mayo, light mayo, or garlic mayo, you can never miss its creaminess and richness. It adds just a touch of flavor to your burger. No other topping can match its level!

• Ranch dressing: You get so many flavors in a ranch dressing. It is creamy, tangy, herbaceous, peppery, and whatnot. Make your burger a ranch chicken burger.

• Ketchup: Probably that one sauce that alone can make a burger perfect is ketchup! I don’t think I have to say anything else in here.

• BBQ sauce: The sweet and smoky flavor of a BBQ sauce gives your burger a smoky flavor and feel as if the patty has just landed on your burger from a grill.

• Honey mustard: The sweetness from honey and the sharp, tangy flavor from the mustard complement each other and the chicken patty burger so well!

• Gravy: To take your burger to the next level, pour leftover gravy on top. It adds richness and so much flavor to your burger. It is a whole new dimension.
