Ingredients You’ll Need
To prepare these mouthwatering chicken fritters, gather the following ingredients:
- 10 ounces of boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and diced into 1/4-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup of Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup of chopped onion
- 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup of mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: Begin by placing all your ingredients—chicken, breadcrumbs, onion, mozzarella cheese, egg, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and garlic powder—into a mixing bowl. Stir until everything is well combined and the mixture holds together nicely.
- Form Patties: Once your mixture is thoroughly blended, shape it into eight equal-sized patties. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the patties; this will help them achieve that perfect crispiness.
- Cook Fritters: Carefully place the patties into the skillet, cooking them for about five minutes on one side until they are lightly browned. Flip them over and continue cooking for an additional three to five minutes, or until the other side is golden and crispy.
- Drain and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve them warm alongside your favorite dipping sauce.
