Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for chicken fritters:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or finely chopped
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, flour, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, eggs, mayonnaise, minced garlic, green onions, and parsley.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Form the Fritters:
- Heat a few tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the chicken mixture and form it into a small patty with your hands.
- Carefully place the patty in the hot skillet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, cooking a few fritters at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet.
- Cook the Fritters:
- Cook each fritter for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. If the fritters brown too quickly, reduce the heat slightly.
- Drain and Serve:
- Remove the cooked fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sour cream, garlic aioli, or sweet chili sauce.
Enjoy your chicken fritters! They make a great appetizer, snack, or even a light meal when paired with a salad.
