    Can I use chicken meat?

    How to Make a Krabby Patty: 14 Steps (with Pictures) - wikiHow (21)

    Community Answer

    As long as the meat is minced, you can use any meat instead of beef. Chicken mince might make the patty a bit more dry, as beef has fat marbled throughout, and chicken is very lean.
