Makes 6-8 servings
Ingredients
1 pound ground chicken
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 yellow onion, finely diced
1 green pepper, finely diced
1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
1/3 cup oil of your choice
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup flour
1/4 to 1/2 cup of milk
Breadcrumbs or crushed crackers
1 egg, beaten
Oil, for frying
Directions
- In a pot, sauté chicken, onion, pepper, garlic, and parsley in oil until chicken is cooked through.
- In a bowl, add milk gradually to flour until it reaches a thick batter. Strain to get rid of any lumps.
- Slowly stir into meat mixture. Add oil if mixture is too sticky (should pull away from sides).
- Remove chicken mixture from heat when dough-like texture is reached, then place in large bowl to cool for at least 2 to 3 hours or overnight.
- Take 2 tablespoons of mixture and form into an oval shape. Roll in bread or cracker crumbs, dip in beaten egg, and roll in bread or cracker crumbs again.
- Heat oil to 350-365 degrees.
- Place carefully in oil until golden brown on one side, and flip (45 seconds to 1 minute per side). Remove onto a paper towel lined plate and let cool. Serve warm.
