½ teaspoon salt
4 cups finely chopped cooked chicken
2 egg yolks, beaten
¼ teaspoon hot pepper paste

⅓ cup LAND O LAKES® Butter
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 pinch fresh thyme
1 pinch fresh oregano
1 pinch fresh basil
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large heavy saucepan over low heat. Add onion and cook until tender. Stir in flour; cook and stir until smooth, about 1 minute. Reduce heat if mixture browns too quickly.
  • Gradually add 1/2 cup of chicken broth and cook over medium heat stirring constantly until thickened and bubbly. Stir in dry mustard, salt, and chopped chicken; whisk in egg yolks.

Fry in batches, as needed. Drain on paper towels.
  • Melt 1/3 cup butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent it from burning. Stir in flour and whisk continuously for 1 minute.

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
6 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup dry white wine

1 carrot, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 garlic clove
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon Madras curry powder
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
about 1 quart vegetable oil, for deep frying

1 cup dry breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F
  • In a small roasting pan, toss the chicken thighs with the onion, leek, carrot and garlic.
  • Add the olive oil and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the Madras curry powder and season with salt and pepper.
  • Roast, turning once, until the chicken thighs are cooked through and the vegetables are tender, about 35 minutes; let cool.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring the milk to a simmer with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of curry powder over moderately high heat.
  • Remove from the heat and let cool.
  • In a food processor, pulse the chicken with the roasted vegetables until a puree forms.

Tips:

  • For crispy croquettes, ensure the chicken mixture is well-chilled before forming them into balls and coating them in breadcrumbs.
  • To achieve a golden-brown crust, fry the croquettes in hot oil until they are crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside.
  • To make the garlic butter sauce, use a combination of butter, garlic, lemon juice, and fresh parsley for the best flavor.
  • Serve the crispy chicken croquettes with the garlic butter sauce for dipping, along with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
  • For a healthier version of the croquettes, bake them in the oven instead of frying them.
