Chicken Sausage Patties & Eggs Air Fryer Recipe
This high-protein carnivore diet air fryer recipe features flavorful chicken sausage patties paired with fried eggs for a satisfying, nutrient-dense breakfast.
Equipment
- Air fryer (any size that fits 4 patties)
Ingredients
- ½ lb ground chicken
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper optional for flexible carnivore
- ¼ tsp garlic powder optional for flexible carnivore
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp tallow or clarified butter for greasing and frying
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F.
- Prepare the sausage patties: In a bowl, mix ground chicken with salt (add black pepper and garlic powder if following a flexible carnivore diet). Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into small patties.
- Grease the air fryer basket: Lightly grease with 1 tbsp tallow or clarified butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook the sausage patties: Place patties in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until fully cooked and slightly crispy.
- Fry the eggs: Heat a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp tallow or butter, and fry eggs to desired doneness (3-5 minutes for slightly runny yolks).
- Serve: Plate the crispy chicken sausage patties alongside the fried eggs and enjoy immediately.
Notes
Variations (Flexible Carnivore Diet):
- Cheesy Sausage Patties: Mix shredded cheese into the sausage mixture before forming patties.
- Spicy Sausage Patties: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the mixture for extra heat.
