Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g Cooked chicken breast (shredded)
- 150 g Canned sweetcorn (drained)
- 100 g All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 100 ml Milk
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 stalks Chopped spring onions
- 3 tbsp Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
Pour the egg and milk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms.
Add the shredded cooked chicken, sweetcorn, and chopped spring onions to the batter and mix gently until evenly combined.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Scoop 2-3 tablespoons of the batter per fritter into the pan, flattening slightly with the back of a spoon to shape into rounds.
Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat in batches, adding more oil as needed.
Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm, optionally garnished with additional spring onions or a dipping sauce.
