Serve warm with a side salad, yogurt dip, or your favorite sauce.

These patties can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Reheat gently in a pan or oven to maintain their crispness.

For longer storage, freeze the uncooked patties on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to one month. Cook from frozen, adding a couple extra minutes to cooking time.

Variations:

Add minced garlic or onion for extra flavor.

Use fresh herbs like dill or cilantro instead of parsley for a different aroma.

Incorporate grated cheese such as Parmesan or cheddar into the mix.

Substitute chicken with ground turkey or lean beef if preferred.

FAQ:
Q: Can I bake these patties instead of frying?
Yes, bake at 200°C (400°F) for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through.

Q: How do I know the patties are fully cooked?
The patties should be firm to the touch and no longer pink inside. Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).

Q: Can I make these patties gluten-free?
Yes, substitute regular flour with a gluten-free alternative like almond flour or rice flour.
