As a protein food, chicken patties are acid-forming. But our bodies need protein so you should aim to combine alkalizing ingredients with protein foods. That way, you give all meals overall alkalinity. Because trying to avoid all acidic foods is the wrong approach to alkaline diet.
Before you use this PRAL Chicken Patties, Nuggets and Tenders List, you must understand and agree to PRAL Food Lists Principles
Acid-Alkaline Chicken Patties, Nuggets and Tenders List
I list types of chicken patty with the lowest PRAL index first. Because these have the lowest acid load. So the least acid-forming meat show first. But you can click the food table headings to change sort order.

Remember, factors such as growing conditions, variety, and preparation methods affect all food nutrients. USDA database values are an average of many samples. So your PRAL values for chicken patties will vary from day to day. But they are always an estimate of actual acid load on your kidneys. Which I explain more in the notes about PRAL principles on the category list page.
