Adapted from Gourmet Magazine May 2002. This is delicious and simple. We do not like cilantro so I used Thai Basil instead. I served with Noodle Salad.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Using fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your patties. Look for chicken that is plump and has no signs of bruising or discoloration. The water chestnuts should be firm and crisp.
  • Don't Overmix the Mixture: Overmixing the chicken mixture will make the patties tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Form the Patties Evenly: When forming the patties, make sure they are all the same size and shape. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't Crowd the Pan: When cooking the patties, make sure you don't crowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the Patties Thoroughly: Cook the patties until they are golden brown on both sides and cooked through. This will ensure that they are safe to eat.

Conclusion:

These Asian Chicken and Water Chestnut Patties are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. The patties are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a flavorful filling. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce for a complete meal.
