Chicken fritters are crispy on the outside, tender inside, and super versatile—great as a snack, appetizer, or even a quick meal.
🍗 Chicken Fritters
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or finely chopped)
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup all-purpose flour (or breadcrumbs)
- ¼ cup grated cheese (optional)

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper

- 2–3 tablespoons milk (if mixture is too thick)

Instructions
1. Mix the batter
In a bowl, combine chicken, eggs, flour, cheese, onions, garlic, and seasonings.
Mix until it forms a thick, scoopable batter.
2. Heat the pan
Add a thin layer of oil to a pan over medium heat.
3. Fry the fritters
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan and flatten slightly.
Cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
