How to Make Chicken Fritters
These amazing bites of crispiness are super easy to make from scratch at home. Plus, you can serve them as a satisfying snack, appetizer or main dish!
Chicken: Cut boneless skinless chicken breast into very small pieces. Eggs: Combine two eggs with the buttermilk to make the batter and ensure a golden crispy fritter. Buttermilk: This is an essential ingredient that will add flavor and make the chicken tender and juicy. You can make your own buttermilk, if you don’t have any on hand! Flour: All-purpose flour will make for a perfectly crispy exterior. Seasonings: A blend of paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper adds wonderful flavor to the egg and flour mixture. Cheese: A mix of both shredded mozzarella cheese and sharp cheddar cheese really takes these to the next level of deliciousness! Green Onions: Add to the batter and use some extra to garnish for a pop of color! Vegetable Oil: For frying.
Buttermilk Option: If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make some by mixing ¼ cup whole milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar, just mix the two together and let it sit for about 5 minutes before using. Don’t Crowd the Pan: It may be necessary to fry in batches. You want to give each fritter enough space to cook evenly and a nice golden exterior. Sauces: These fritters are best served with a dipping sauce, I suggest Garlic Aioli or Fry Sauce.
In the Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container or large resealable bag in the fridge for 4 days. In the Freezer: Freeze these after they have cooled completely. To keep from sticking, line them on a baking sheet for 2 hours in the freezer. Then, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months. To Reheat: To keep them crispy, reheat them in the oven or air fryer. Heat at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, till hot.
