Light oil spray for the air fryer
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Mix It All Together:
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, onion, carrot, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, and seasoning. Mix until just combined — don’t overmix or they’ll be dense. - Shape the Rissoles:

Set it to 180°C (350°F) and lightly spray the basket with oil. - Air Fry to Perfection:
Place the rissoles in a single layer (don’t overcrowd). Air fry for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through. - Serve & Enjoy:
Pair them with a fresh salad, dipping sauce, or mashed potatoes for a wholesome, satisfying meal.
💡 Tips for Success
Add grated zucchini for extra moisture and veggies.
