Provided by Mandy Rivers | South Your Mouth

Categories     lunch, dinner, main dish, kid friendly

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 12.5-oz cans white premium chunk chicken breast
1 egg
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt (see notes)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 cup plain dried bread crumbs
Additional bread crumbs
Vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Drain chicken very well. I place mine in a colander to drain for several minutes then press down on the chicken with a heavy bowl.
  • Roughly chop chicken. I like the chicken to be uniform in size for consistent texture in the fritters (aim for about 1/4 inch pieces). Chopping the chicken also prevents any stray bits from poking out of the crispy coating.
  • Add chicken, egg, Dijon mustard, salt and spices to a mixing bowl then stir with a fork until well combined. Stir in 1/4 cup bread crumbs.
  • Pour additional bread crumbs into a shallow bowl or pie plate (about a cup or so). Portion chicken mixture into six fritters. Shape each fritter into a tight little hockey puck then coat with additional bread crumbs.
  • Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, pan-fry chicken fritters on each side until golden brown and crispy. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!

CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN



Crispy Baked Chicken image

For pull-apart tender chicken with crisp, deeply spiced skin, rub it with a spicy-sweet mix and roast it low and slow while you're doing something else. Because this chicken is cooked at a moderately low temperature, the spices will bloom but not burn, and the chicken fat will render slowly and completely (which means you don't need any oil). The smoky rub in this recipe will turn the chicken skin into what tastes like a barbecue potato chip, but you can use other spice blends, too, like garam masala or Montreal steak seasoning. Just be sure your mix includes sugar for browning and salt for accentuating flavors. Whole chicken legs (with the thigh and drumstick attached) provide a more generous portion of juicy meat and skin that shatters, but a mix of drumsticks and bone-in thighs work, too.

Categories     dinner, lunch, poultry, main course

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 teaspoons dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
A heaping 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
4 chicken leg quarters (about 2 ½ to 3 pounds), patted dry

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 325 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper and cayenne with a fork or your fingers. Rub the spice mix all over the chicken. (You can do this step 1 to 12 hours ahead. Refrigerate uncovered, then bring to room temperature before cooking.)
  • Place the chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin side up. Bake, without flipping, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crisp, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Eat the chicken with pan drippings spooned over top.

Tips:

  • Using cold chicken broth instead of water will enhance the flavor of the fritters.
  • For a crispier coating, double coat the chicken in the flour mixture.
  • Be sure to shake off any excess flour before frying the chicken, as this will help prevent the coating from becoming too thick.
  • Fry the chicken in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure that each piece cooks evenly.
  • If you don't have a deep fryer, you can shallow fry the chicken in a large skillet with about 1 inch of oil.
  • Serve the chicken fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Crispy baked chicken fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or potluck, and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your friends and family.
