👨‍🍳 Crispy Chicken Fritters Recipe
Ingredients:

1 ½ lbs chicken breast, finely chopped (or ground chicken)

2 large eggs

⅓ cup mayonnaise

½ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

⅓ cup all-purpose flour

2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (or 1 tbsp dried)

1 tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

½ tsp paprika

2–3 tbsp vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions:

Chop the chicken:
If using whole breasts, chop the chicken into very small pieces (smaller than bite-size). This helps the fritters hold together and cook evenly.

Make the batter:
In a large bowl, combine chopped chicken, eggs, mayo, cheese, garlic, flour, parsley, and spices. Stir until fully combined. The mixture will be thick but spoonable.

Heat the oil:
In a large non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium heat.

Cook the fritters:
Using a spoon or small scoop, drop portions of the chicken mixture into the hot pan. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon. Fry 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Drain & serve:
Remove from pan and place on a paper towel–lined plate. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
