Ingredients Needed for our Keto Chicken Burgers.
Frozen Chicken Burgers
Where to buy frozen chicken burgers?
As the name states, you can buy frozen chicken burgers in the freezer section of your local supermarket. You can also purchase patties from your local farmer and/or farmer’s market.
Tips on buying frozen chicken burgers?
Look for 100% chicken AND natural ingredients when buying your frozen chicken burgers. Food companies can be very sneaky and add in extra ingredients. Always make sure to look at the ingredient label on any frozen food and double check the ingredient list for just chicken and other natural ingredients.
The chicken burgers I used were Mighty Spark. I found them at Kroger. The ingredients were chicken, feta, spinach, and seasonings! No nitrates at all!
Olive Oil or Butter.
I encourage all my clients to use extra LIGHT olive oil. Extra light olive oil has a very mild taste. If you prefer butter, make sure to purchase 100% butter.
Salt (or seasoning of choice)
I love to use Redmond Real Salt, but please feel free to use your favorite seasonings.
Low Carb and/or Gluten Free Bun.
I love Smart Buns, but you can use Sola Buns, Carbonanut, and Base Culture bread. Base Culture and Unbun if you are looking for a low carb PLUS gluten free bun.
Keto Condiments.
I am a huge fan of the G Hughes and Kevin’s line of sugar free condiments.

FAQ.
Are Chicken Burgers Healthy?
You know me by now. The answer – read the label. If the chicken burger is plain, it is a wonderful source of protein in the diet without any added sugar. Protein is important in any weight loss plan since it is found to have you eating LESS! In a study published in Nutrition Metabolism, those who increased their protein intake to 30 percent of their diet ate 450 fewer calories a day and lost about 11 pounds over the 12-week study without doing anything else!
Gluten Free Chicken Burgers?
Guess what?! I found them! Mighty Spark Chicken Burgers are gluten free. But as always, read the label. Often, breadcrumbs are added to a burger mixture to ‘hold’ the product together. Read, read, read the label.
Keto Chicken Burgers?
The answer – read the label. Often ‘fillers’ are added to our burgers (I am looking at you bread crumbs). My goal is always to keep the carbs under 5 grams.
Keto Condiments?
Keto condiments do exist! PLAIN Mustard and PLAIN olive-oil based mayonnaise are naturally carb-free, but as a rule of thumb, read the label. Many of our naturally carbs free condiments have been manipulated with honey and sugar (think honey mustard). While many of us focus on carbs, read the ingredient label to make sure sugar, honey, agave nectar, or maple syrup are not in the condiment.

Do You Put Oil in An Air Fryer?
Oil in the air fryer is an interesting discussion. You can USE oil in air fryer recipes, but DO NOT pour oil in an air fryer basket. Look for high smoke point oil sprays for the air fryer. The best oil spray for an air fryer is avocado oil since it’s smoke point is high and can handle the high temperature of the air fryer. You can use olive oil (I often use olive oil in the air fryer) if cooking at a slightly lower temperature 360 or less.
In this recipe, I used Extra Light Olive Oil.
