Serves: 4
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Air-fryer temperature: 200 ºC

  • 2 slices bread, crusts removed
  • 1 large egg
  • 100 ml ready-made monkey gland sauce
  • (or use BBQ sauce)
  • 500 g lean beef mince
  • Canola oil, for brushing
  • 4 Cheddar cheese slices
  • 4 hamburger rolls, halved and buttered
  • 80 ml mayonnaise
  • Lettuce, sliced tomato and onion, to serve
  • 1 x 120 g packet Big Korn Bite chips (tomato or BBQ flavour)

1 Place the bread, egg and half the monkey gland sauce into a bowl. Add the mince and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until well combined. Shape into 4 burger patties and brush with oil.

2 Preheat the air fryer to 200 ºC. Put the patties into the air-fryer basket and cook for 3 minutes. Turn the patties over and cook for a further 3-4 minutes or until almost cooked through. Top each patty with a slice of cheese and cook for a further 2 minutes.

3 Split the burger rolls and spread the top halves with mayonnaise and the bottom halves with the remaining monkey gland sauce, lettuce, tomato and onion. Add the burger patties and top with a handful of chips and the top half of the rolls. Serve immediately.
