Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, mayonnaise, onion powder, paprika, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties.
- Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes to help the patties firm up.

- Breadcrumbs help keep patties tender and firm.
- Chilling prevents patties from breaking apart.
