A delightful twist on classic chicken croquettes, these crispy chicken patties are easy to prepare and perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, finely chopped onion, salt, pepper, egg, and breadcrumbs until well mixed.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the patties tough.
Shape the mixture into evenly sized patties.
Use slightly wet hands to prevent the mixture from sticking.
Heat canola oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot enough by testing with a small piece of mixture; it should sizzle immediately.
Fry the patties in the skillet until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Pat gently with paper towels to remove as much oil as possible.
Serve the patties warm with your favorite dipping sauce or side dish.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added flavor and presentation.
