Chicken Fritters

Welcome to 

Pink Glitter!

Thanks so much for opening this 

post.....I'm glad you're joining me 

today.

Let's get started making 

Chicken Fritters!

Ingredients:

4 cups of boneless, skinless chicken

( I used thighs but boneless, skinless chicken breasts would work)

2 eggs

1/3 cup mayo

3/4 cup flour, all purpose

1/2 cup grated cheese, use your favorite type

salt & pepper, to taste

oil, to fry the fritters 

I placed my chicken on a cutting board....

.....and then chopped it up into 1/2 inch 

pieces.

Chop, chop, chop!

Then add eggs, mayo,

....flour....

....salt and pepper.

Give the entire mixture a good, big ol' stir!

If you think the mixture needs a bit more flour

so everything is well coated, sprinkle in a tablespoon or two more now.

Stir, stir!

Do these fritters sound good, Glitterinas?

Now you are ready to scoop and fry.

Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in your favorite skillet.

I like a lid when I fry things to help with popping oil.

Ouch, be very careful, that can hurt!

I do not have any pictures of the frying fritters 

because that oil is hot and I was watching 

closely....

Fry 4 or 5 fritters at a time 

for 

3 minutes on each side. 

I used a medium ice cream scoop to 

transfer fritter batter from bowl to skillet.

If you wanted these to be an appetizer, 

use a spoon to drop them into the oil for frying.

As you work on frying consecutive batches

watch your heat.....it can get too hot and burn 

the fritters.

Here's the first batch.....

....and then the rest!

I don't fry food often because 

it's not the best thing for our hearts, it's 

crazy messy and popping grease does not feel good!

So while these little buggers were frying 

husband kept encouraging me on with ....

"Oh wow, that smells so good!"

"I can't wait to eat those!"

"How long has it been since you fried something?"

Thanks....

Good.....

and 

I really do not remember

......were my responses!

Hee hee!!

I served the fritters with an aioli sauce.

It is simple to whisk up....

....in a small bowl, add

1/3 cup mayo

1 T. minced garlic 

(or a fresh garlic clove, finely chopped or pressed)

1/2 T lemon juice

salt & pepper to taste

Whisk, whisk, whisk!

I love using my small whisk!

I made the aioli in the bowl I served it in.

This aioli is really good on other foods, too.

roasted veggies

baked potatoes

grilled shrimp

Just taste it and you'll think of other foods 

it would be good served on!

Here's dinner....

Chicken fritters with aioli

served with corn and black bean salad.

A colorful and yummy dinner!

I hope you'll give these fritters a try.

They were good and husband enjoyed having 

something fried!

I love him lots and lots.....that's how he rates messy food!

Oh, and I have plenty of wipes to help clean up 

after the frying is done!

You are the best, Glitterinas!

Thanks again for letting me share this recipe

with you.

See you next time,

In The Kitchen With Emery

Welcome Glitterinas!

Thank you so much for taking a moment to 

open this post at

Pink Glitter!

Miss Emery is sharing a yummy snack recipe 

with you today.

She's in the kitchen making 

Bacon Knots.

Let's join her!

First, place parchment paper on a baking sheet.

Gather the ingredients.

Bacon....

garlic powder....

and fresh cracked black pepper.

Take a strip of bacon and fold it into 

a flat knot.

Emery made 4 bacon knots.

Make as many as you want....

they are yummy and simple to make.

Next, sprinkle each knot with 

garlic powder....

and give each knot a hit of 

fresh cracked black pepper.

That's it!

The bacon knots are ready for the oven.

Place them into a pre-heated 350 degree oven 

for 25 minutes.

While waiting for the knots to cook

choose a serving plate and get out the 

fresh parmesan cheese.

This is the serving plate chosen for today's snack.

When the timer signals that the 

knots are ready....

......remove them from the oven...

.....and sprinkle them with some fresh 

parmesan cheese.

Place the knots back into the oven for 

2-3 minutes.

Yummy!

Here they are in all their 

cheese covered glory!

Served and enjoyed!

Emery and Pops, 

who both love everything bacon,

declared these bacon knots

to be delicious!

Emery hopes you'll give these yummy 

little treats a try!

I hope you enjoyed being in the kitchen with 

Miss Emery today!

I'm looking forward to the next post of 

Pink Glitter!

Thanks again for joining in the fun!

Until next time,

Tammy

Please Don't Eat the Strawberries!

I usually encourage the consumption of 

fruit that's as delicious as strawberries.....

.....but not these pretties, Glitterinas!

I like to use these faux berries to decorate 

my dining room table!

Let me share with you....

I layered a few favorite tablecloths and 

gathered some red napkins, a few pieces of 

white ironstone and some other pieces from around the house.

After some mixing and stacking.....

......strawberries stacked here and piled there.....

.....this is how the table ended up!

This tablecloth ended up folded and on the library table. 

 I like it here!

One last addition.....

a small grapevine wreath!

This table is bright and happy.

But, please, don't eat the strawberries!

I like all the happy red....

how about you, Glitterinas?

Are your days flying by?

I can hardly believe that summer is over 

and the kids are heading back to school!

Please keep all the teachers, staff and 

students who are returning to school 

in your prayers.

Thanks, Glitterinas!

Leave me a note so I'll know 

you stopped by Pink Glitter!

I enjoy reading your thoughts!

Until next time,

Tammy
