Crispy chicken fritters are a deliciously simple way to elevate ground chicken into a satisfying snack or main dish. These fritters are packed with tender chicken and seasoned with fresh herbs and spices for a burst of flavor.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup almond flour (or regular flour)
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil or vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, mix together the ground chicken, onion, cheese, almond flour, egg, parsley, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Form the Fritters: Divide the mixture into small balls, about 1-2 tablespoons each, then flatten them slightly with your hands to form fritter patties.
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat a thin layer of oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken fritters to the pan.
- Cook the Fritters: Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside and fully cooked through in the center. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as aioli, ranch, or honey mustard.
These fritters make a great appetizer or a fun twist for a family meal! Enjoy the crispy goodness and the savory flavor in every bite.
