Jack-o-Lantern Chicken Patties, Any ideas on how to make this better?

Enhanced Ingredients:

Chicken: Use ground chicken thigh instead of breast for extra flavor and juiciness.
Veggies: Increase the amount of pumpkin puree or use roasted pumpkin for a more robust pumpkin flavor. Add diced carrots or sweet potatoes for additional sweetness and nutrition.
Breadcrumbs: Swap out regular breadcrumbs for panko breadcrumbs for a crispier coating.
Seasonings: Enhance the flavor with herbs such as rosemary, thyme, or sage. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a subtle heat.
Cheese: For a creamy and savory addition, stir in shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese.

Cooking Techniques:

Pan-frying: Heat a non-stick skillet with extra virgin olive oil and cook the patties over medium heat. This method allows for a crispy exterior and evenly cooked interior.
Baking: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
Air-frying: If you have an air fryer, set it to 390°F (200°C) and cook the patties for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking.

Presentation:

Carving: Use a sharp knife to carefully carve jack-o’-lantern faces into the cooked patties before serving.
Dipping sauces: Offer a variety of dipping sauces, such as pumpkin spice mayonnaise, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
Sides: Pair the patties with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp autumn salad.

Additional Tips:

Make ahead: Prepare the patties ahead of time and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before cooking.
Freeze: Uncooked patties can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw them overnight in the refrigerator before cooking.
Customize: Don’t be afraid to experiment with different flavors and ingredients to make the patties your own.
