Ingredients:
– 1 pound ground chicken
– 2 cups mashed potatoes
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 eggs, beaten
– Vegetable oil for frying
Directions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, mashed potatoes, onion, garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.
2. Shape the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
4. Dip each ball into the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken balls in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
7. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
Tips:
– Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to ensure a crispy exterior.
– You can add chopped herbs like parsley or cilantro for extra flavor.
– These chicken balls can also be baked in the oven at 400°F for about 20-25 minutes for a healthier option.
