Description
Deliciously crispy and golden chicken fritters that are tender on the inside, perfect for family dinners or game night snacks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breast, finely chopped
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs (panko recommended)
- 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup of milk or dairy-free milk
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Begin by prepping the chicken. In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped chicken with the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure to mix well so that all the chicken pieces are coated with the seasonings.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well blended. Slowly stir in the flour and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Gently fold the seasoned chicken into the batter, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
- Heat about a half-inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, carefully drop mounds of the chicken mixture into the hot oil.
- Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and crispy.
- Once done, place the fritters on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Notes
For a healthier alternative, consider baking the fritters at 400°F for 15-20 minutes instead of frying.
