Here’s a simple and tasty chicken fritters recipe—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside:
Chicken Fritters
Servings: 4
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15–20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450 g) cooked chicken, shredded or finely chopped
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 egg
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup milk (optional, for moisture)
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the Mixture
- In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, flour, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, green onions, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- If mixture feels dry, add a little milk to help bind.
- Shape Fritters
- Form small patties (about 2–3 inches in diameter) with your hands.
- Heat Oil
- In a skillet, heat 2–3 tablespoons of oil over medium heat.
- Cook Fritters
- Fry patties 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and heated through.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve
- Serve warm with a dipping sauce: ranch, garlic aioli, or sweet chili sauce.
💡 Tips:
- For extra crunch, coat fritters lightly in flour or breadcrumbs before frying.
- You can mix in shredded veggies like carrot or zucchini for added flavor and nutrition.
- Oven-bake option: Place fritters on a greased baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway.
