Ingredients
For the chicken fritters
-
500 g (1 lb) boneless chicken breasts or thighs, finely chopped
-
2 large eggs
-
1/2 cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
-
1/2 cup (50 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
-
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
-
2 garlic cloves, minced
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
Vegetable oil, for frying
For the honey garlic glaze
-
1/3 cup (80 ml) honey
-
3 tbsp soy sauce
-
3 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
-
1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (slurry)
Instructions
1. Make the fritter mixture
In a large bowl, mix the chopped chicken, eggs, flour, cheese, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper until a sticky batter forms.
2. Fry the fritters
Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil, flatten slightly, and fry for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
3. Prepare the glaze
In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, garlic, and vinegar. Simmer gently over medium heat. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce thickens and turns glossy, about 2 minutes.
4. Coat the fritters
Arrange the fritters in a serving dish, pour the glaze over them, and toss gently to coat. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
5. Serve
Enjoy immediately while hot and crisp, with extra glaze on the side for dipping.
Storage Tips
-
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
-
Reheat in the oven or skillet to restore crispiness.
-
Freeze without the glaze for up to 2 months; thaw and reheat before glazing.
