Step 2: Shape the Fritters
- Form small patties: Take a small handful of the chicken mixture and shape it into a round or oval patty, about 2–3 inches in diameter.
- Coat in breadcrumbs: Spread breadcrumbs on a plate and lightly press each patty into the breadcrumbs to coat evenly. This will ensure a crispy exterior when fried.
Step 3: Fry the Fritters
- Heat the oil: Pour enough oil into a frying pan to cover the base (about ¼ inch) and heat it over medium heat.
- Fry until golden: Place the fritters carefully into the hot oil. Fry for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
- Drain excess oil: Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
- Plate the fritters: Arrange the crispy fritters on a serving platter.
- Optional garnish: Sprinkle extra parsley or Parmesan on top for an elegant touch.
- Add dipping sauce: Serve with your favorite dipping sauce like ranch, garlic aioli, or sweet chili sauce.
Tip: For extra cheesiness, press a small cube of cheese into the center of each patty before coating in breadcrumbs.
Pro Tips for Perfect Cheesy Chicken Fritters
- Cheese choice: Mozzarella melts beautifully, but mixing in sharp cheddar adds extra flavor.
- Even cooking: Make fritters similar in size to ensure they cook evenly.
- Baking alternative: For a healthier option, bake the fritters at 200°C (400°F) for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
