Chicken Fritters are crispy, golden patties made with shredded or ground chicken, mixed with herbs, spices, and a binder like egg and flour, then pan-fried. They’re perfect as a snack, appetizer, or main dish. 🍗✨
Ingredients (Makes 8–10 fritters)
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or finely chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup flour (or breadcrumbs for extra crispiness)
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp paprika or chili powder (optional)
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter
- In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken, onion, garlic, egg, flour, herbs, and spices.
- The mixture should hold together; add a little more flour if too wet.
- Shape the Fritters
- Form the mixture into small patties or rounds about 2–3 inches wide.
- Heat the Oil
- In a skillet, heat 2–3 tbsp oil over medium heat.
- Cook the Fritters
- Fry patties for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Serve
- Serve hot with dipping sauces like ranch, honey mustard, or spicy mayo.
Tips
- Add grated cheese for extra flavor.
- Use leftover roasted or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- For a lighter version, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
