Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground chicken
- 6 pieces Hard-boiled eggs
- 100 g Breadcrumbs
- 50 g All-purpose flour
- 2 pieces Eggs
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 small Onion (finely chopped)
- 2 tbsp Parsley (chopped)
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 500 ml Cooking oil (for frying)
Instructions
Peel the hard-boiled eggs and set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, minced garlic, finely chopped onion, parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Divide the chicken mixture into six equal portions. Flatten each portion into a thin patty in the palm of your hand.
Place one hard-boiled egg in the center of the chicken patty and gently wrap the chicken around the egg, sealing it completely to form a smooth ball. Repeat for all six eggs.
Set up a breading station with three shallow plates: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
Roll each chicken and egg ball in flour, dip it into the beaten eggs, and coat it thoroughly with breadcrumbs. Ensure the coating is even and secure.
In a deep frying pan, heat the cooking oil over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Carefully lower the chicken and egg balls into the hot oil, frying in batches as needed to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until evenly golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fried balls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Chicken and Egg Balls warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as part of a meal.
