Time 30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 (4 ounce) can Hatch green chiles, drained
½ cup chopped onion
½ cup almond flour
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons Buffalo wing sauce, or to taste
¼ cup avocado oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Place 1/3 of the chicken pieces into the bowl of a food processor and pulse several times, cutting the chicken into smaller pieces. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Repeat twice more with remaining chicken pieces. Do not overprocess; some texture should remain.
  • Add eggs, Hatch chiles, onion, almond flour, mayonnaise, garlic, chili powder, chipotle powder, salt, pepper, and cumin to the chicken. Stir until combined. Stir in wing sauce.
  • Place a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Fill hot skillet with 1/4 inch avocado oil; heat until shimmering.
  • Use a 1/4 cup measure to drop 6 mounds of chicken mixture into the hot oil. Gently press each one into a 3-inch fritter. Cook until chicken is no longer pink and tops are browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer fritters to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken mixture. Serve warm.

These fritters are a great way to use up leftover chicken. They are also a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables.

The fritters were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I should have drained them on paper towels before serving.

The fritters were a bit dry. I think I should have added more liquid to the batter.

The fritters were delicious, but the sauce was a bit too spicy for me. Next time I'll use less chili pepper.
