Chicken Fritters - My Recipes

Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
2 large eggs
1/2 cup grated cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

Prepare the Batter:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, milk, and eggs. Mix well until smooth.
- Add the shredded chicken, grated cheese, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, dried oregano, and chopped parsley. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Heat the Oil:
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. You will need enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet by about 1/4 inch.
Fry the Fritters:
- Drop spoonfuls of the chicken mixture into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon.
- Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Drain and Serve:
- Remove the fritters from the skillet and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve the chicken fritters hot, with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.

Tips for Perfect Chicken Fritters

Chicken: Use leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
Cheese: Adjust the type and amount of cheese based on your preference. Cheddar and mozzarella work well, but you can experiment with other types.
Consistency: If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk. If it’s too thin, add a bit more flour.
