Finding time for a satisfying meal during a busy week can be a challenge. While the allure of a takeaway is strong, the convenience and value of a home-cooked alternative are often a better fit. Frozen chicken burgers offer a brilliant solution, providing that delicious takeaway experience—a 'fakeaway'—without the wait or the expense.
As the Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer, my role is to help you navigate the options available. This guide is designed to highlight some excellent choices for your next quick family meal, focusing on flavour, convenience and quality.
Before filling your basket, consider a few points to ensure you pick the right burger for your household.
The type of chicken used significantly impacts the texture and taste.
The breadcrumb coating is where the magic happens. From classic and simple to bold and fiery, there's a style for every palate. Popular options include the classic crispy breadcrumb, the herb-infused southern fried chicken burgers and the increasingly popular spicy chicken burgers that bring a welcome kick of heat.
Most frozen chicken burgers are designed for ultimate convenience. Check the packaging for cooking instructions. Many are now perfectly suited for air frying, which can deliver an extra-crispy finish in less time than a conventional oven. This makes them a fantastic choice for anyone looking for air fryer chicken burgers for a speedy dinner.
Here are a few standout options that deliver on taste and convenience, making them ideal for your next fakeaway night.
Why It Stands Out: These burgers are all about the heat. The hot and spicy breadcrumb coating provides a satisfyingly fiery kick that sets them apart from standard options.
Made from 100% chicken breast fillet, the tender interior provides a great contrast to the crunchy, flavour-packed exterior. They are specifically designed to replicate the taste of a takeaway chicken shop, making them a top contender for anyone craving a spicy burger.
Pros:
Who is it for? Individuals and families who enjoy a bit of spice and are looking for authentic-tasting spicy chicken burgers to create quick fakeaway meals at home.
Why It Stands Out: This is a classic chicken fillet burger done right. It focuses on quality and simplicity, with a whole chicken breast fillet coated in a light, crispy golden breadcrumb.
Its versatile, savoury flavour makes it a fantastic base for any burger creation. You can dress it up with your favourite sauces, salad and cheese without the burger's own seasoning overpowering the combination. Like its spicy counterpart, it’s made from 100% chicken breast.
Pros:
Who is it for? Families or individuals who prefer a classic, high-quality chicken burger that they can customise. It's an excellent choice for quick family meals where different topping preferences need to be accommodated.
Why It Stands Out: For those who love the distinct, herby taste of Southern Fried chicken, this is an excellent pick. These burgers are made from minced chicken, giving them a softer, juicy texture that contrasts well with the crunchy, seasoned coating.
This pack contains four burgers, offering great value and convenience for family dinners or when you need to have a simple meal solution on hand in the freezer.
Pros:
Who is it for? Anyone specifically seeking that classic Southern Fried takeaway flavour. It's also a practical choice for households needing a larger pack size for easy meal planning.
If the burgers above aren't quite what you had in mind, or if you'd like to explore other convenient meal solutions, there is a wider selection available. From chicken nuggets and goujons to other breaded specialities, you can find plenty more choices to stock your freezer.

Cooking air fryer chicken burgers is simple and gives a wonderfully crisp result. Generally, you preheat your air fryer to around 200°C. Place the frozen burgers in the basket in a single layer, ensuring they don't overlap. Cook for 14-18 minutes, turning them over halfway through the cooking time. Always check the product is piping hot throughout before serving. Cooking times can vary between appliances, so it's best to consult the packaging for specific guidance.
A chicken fillet burger is made from a single, whole piece of chicken breast. This results in a firm, natural texture. A regular or formed chicken burger is typically made from minced or chopped chicken meat that has been shaped into a patty. Both are delicious, but they offer different eating experiences.
Frozen chicken burgers are incredibly versatile. For a classic fakeaway meal, serve them in a brioche or sesame seed bun with lettuce, tomato and your favourite sauce. They also pair perfectly with chips, sweet potato fries, onion rings or a side of coleslaw. For a lighter meal, you can serve a cooked burger alongside a fresh garden salad.
