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
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.
Form the mixture into small, flat patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
Place the panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Gently press each chicken patty into the panko, coating both sides thoroughly.
Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, grated garlic, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
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).
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.
Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a wire rack or a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
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.
