Grandma's Crispy Chicken Fritters: The Secret Recipe That Stole 3 Generations' Hearts!

 


👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken Mixture

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped onions, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and milk, then add to the chicken mixture.

  3. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.


2. Shape the Fritters

  • Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and form small patties or fritters.

  • Coat each patty lightly with flour, then dip into breadcrumbs or panko for extra crunch.


3. Heat the Oil 

  • Pour about ½ inch of vegetable oil into a large skillet.

  • Heat over medium heat until hot but not smoking.


4. Fry the Fritters

  • Carefully place fritters in the skillet without overcrowding.

  • Fry 2–3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F / 74°C).

  • Remove and drain on paper towels.


5. Serve

  • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce — ranch, honey mustard, or a spicy aioli all pair beautifully.


✨ Tips for Perfect Crispy Chicken Fritters

  • Don’t overcrowd the pan to maintain crispiness.
