Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare a breading station with three shallow bowls: flour, egg mixed with water, and panko breadcrumbs.
  2. In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, panko, parsley, green onions, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Let sit for 5 minutes, then gently mix in ground chicken.
  3. Divide mixture into 5 equal parts, shape each into patties. Dredge in flour, dip in egg, and coat with panko.
  4. Heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry patties for about 4 minutes on one side until golden, then flip and fry for another 3-5 minutes until internal temperature reaches 160°F.
  5. Serve patties on bun halves or a plate with desired toppings.
