Our Oh-so-yummy and EZ-to-make croquettes! These are great for OAMC too. The croquettes freeze well, then just pop them in the microwave for a quick meal or snack. Does not include 3 hr chill time. Cone shape is traditional for croquettes, but I have made patty shaped ones that are just as wonderful. Try adding some chopped mushrooms too. Thanksgiving leftovers?.. Try Recipe #266220 ;)

1/8 tsp poultry seasoning

Tips:

For crispy croquettes, make sure the chicken mixture is well chilled before frying. You can also freeze the croquettes for up to 2 months before frying.
Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the chicken mixture. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, and oregano.
If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs or crushed crackers.
Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the croquettes. This will cause them to steam instead of fry and they won't be as crispy.
Serve the croquettes with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
