This Memorial Day weekend, I had a problem... I needed to come up with a crab cake recipe (for a client) that had the same mouth feel as a crab cake... but didn't contain any crab... Interesting. I don't claim that this is a substitute for crab... nothing (in my opinion) replaces crab, but it is a very tasty dish, and it goes...

Steps:
- 1. Gather all your ingredients.
- 2. In the bowl of a food processor, fitted with an S-blade, combine the oyster crackers and the French's French Fried Onions, or regular onions.
- 3. Pulse a few times, until the crackers are broken down, but still have some big pieces.
- 4. Add the chicken, mayonnaise, relish, parsley, salt, black pepper, hot sauce, and egg.
- 5. Use one-second pulses until all the ingredients are incorporated, but not so much that the mixture gets mushy... You want some chunks.
- 6. Take 4 ounces of the mixture and form into a cake, you should have 4 cakes and a bit of extra.
- 7. Chef's Tip: I use a standard egg ring to form the patties, and it works perfect.
- 8. Place the panko breadcrumbs in a bowl.
- 9. Pat some of the breadcrumb onto the top and bottom of the cakes.
- 10. Chef's Tip: The cakes are very fragile, so be very careful with the patting.
- 11. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet or large plate, cover with cling wrap, and put into the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour.
- 12. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- 13. Cook the cakes until evenly browned, about 5 minutes per side.
- 14. Drain on paper towels before serving.
- 15. Chef's Note: My favorite way of serving these is over some nice Cajun style rice: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/side-rice-side/rice-pilaf-with-a-cajun-creole-twist.html
- 16. Chef's Note: And drizzled with a good Rémoulade: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/sauce-spread-dressing/remoulade-sauce-big-easy-style-with-a.html
- 17. Chef's Note: I made these for a client's private party, and everyone was raving and asking me for the recipe. Enjoy.
- 18. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
