Cheesy Chicken Fritters Recipe

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken Mixture:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, green onions, parsley, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Shape the Fritters:
   • Form the chicken mixture into small patties or fritters, about 2 inches in diameter. Ensure they are compact and hold together well.
3. Prepare the Coating:
   • In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and milk to create an egg wash.
4. Coat the Fritters:
   • Dip each chicken fritter into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs to the surface.
5. Heat the Oil:
   • In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
6. Fry the Fritters:
   • Carefully place the coated chicken fritters into the hot oil, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each side for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Drain and Serve:
   • Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
8. Serve Warm:
   • Serve the cheesy chicken fritters warm as a delightful appetizer or main course. They pair well with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as barbecue sauce, honey mustard, or ranch dressing.

Enjoy these crispy and cheesy chicken fritters as a flavorful addition to your meal!
