Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs, beaten
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, minced garlic, chopped onion, 1 cup of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, 1 egg, parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Using your hands, form small, golf ball-sized chicken balls. Aim for uniform size to ensure even cooking.
Prepare a dredging station with three separate bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with Panko breadcrumbs.
Coat each chicken ball first in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with Panko breadcrumbs. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs stick well.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat. The oil should reach approximately 175°C (350°F) for frying.
Carefully add the chicken balls to the hot oil in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry the chicken balls for 3-4 minutes per batch, or until they turn golden brown and are fully cooked inside. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as spicy mayo, honey mustard, or sweet chili sauce.
