Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Chicken Croquettes.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients to make the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.
Step 2
In a large skillet, warm up a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Toss in the diced onion and sauté it until it turns a lovely translucent color, which should take about five minutes.
Step 4
Once the onion is ready, take the skillet off the heat and set it aside.
Step 5
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped chicken, seasoned dry bread crumbs, and two lightly beaten eggs.
Step 6
Gently fold in the sautéed onion, ensuring everything is well blended.
Step 7
If the mixture feels a bit dry and isn’t holding together, don’t hesitate to add an extra egg and mix until it’s just right.
Step 8
Next, sprinkle in the chopped parsley, salt, and ground black pepper, stirring until all the flavors are evenly distributed.
Step 9
Now it’s time to get your hands a little messy! Shape the mixture into small patties, roughly the size of your palm.
Step 10
Wipe out the skillet to keep things tidy, then add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and heat it over medium heat.
Step 11
In batches, carefully fry the patties until they achieve a beautiful golden brown and crispy exterior, which should take about four to six minutes on each side.
Step 12
Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as you cook!.
