Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken breast

Instructions
- Lightly coat your air fryer basket with olive oil and preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees.
- Mix the ground chicken, thyme, sage, sea salt, black pepper, and minced onion in a medium mixing bowl until combined.
- Next, form the chicken mixture into nine sausage patties and place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry the sausages for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking, until they're golden and their internal temperature registers 165 degrees.
- If you don't have an air fryer, bake the patties on a baking sheet at 400 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes.

Notes
Storage
- Refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
- Wrap individual patties in plastic wrap and freeze, cooked or uncooked, for up to 3 months in an airtight, freezer-safe container or heavy-duty freezer bag.
- Reheat frozen cooked patties in the air fryer at 400 degrees for around 4 minutes (air fryer times vary).
- I find it easiest to mix the ground chicken and seasonings by hand. Use food-safe gloves for easy cleanup.
- Mix the ground chicken and seasonings until combined, but don't overwork it. Overmixed ground meat results in tough patties.
- Never use nonstick spray on your air fryer basket. Instead, brush it with olive oil. Nonstick spray can damage the basket coating over time.
- Always preheat your air fryer for even cooking and accurate times. It only takes about five minutes.
- If you don't have an air fryer, you can bake the patties at 400°F for 10 to 15 minutes on a baking sheet.
- These chicken sausage patties can be frozen before or after cooking. If you freeze raw patties, simply air fry them at 400°F, adding 2 to 4 minutes.
