Follow this recipe to make tender chicken fritters with a perfectly crispy coating, served with a simple garlic yogurt dipping sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the ground chicken, flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix until just combined.
  2. In a separate shallow dish, whisk together the egg and milk.
  3. In a third shallow dish, place the panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Form the chicken mixture into small, flat patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
  5. Dip each patty first into the egg wash, letting excess drip off, then press firmly into the panko breadcrumbs to coat both sides completely.
  6. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Carefully place the coated fritters into the hot oil, ensuring you do not overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  9. While the fritters cook, prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Stir until smooth.
  10. Serve the hot crispy chicken fritters immediately with the garlic yogurt sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, chill the breaded fritters in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before frying.
  • If you prefer not to deep fry, you can air fry these at 375°F (190°C) for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • You can substitute ground turkey for ground chicken if desired.
