Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the ground chicken, flour, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  2. Form the mixture into small, flat patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
  3. Place the panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Gently press each chicken patty into the panko, coating both sides thoroughly.
  4. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, grated garlic, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  5. Pour vegetable oil into a large skillet to a depth of about 1/2 inch. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  6. Carefully place the coated fritters into the hot oil, ensuring you do not overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a wire rack or a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  8. Serve the hot, crispy chicken fritters immediately with the garlic yogurt sauce.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, chill the breaded patties for 15 minutes before frying.
  • To bake, place patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • To air fry, cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, turning once.
