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,
