45 millilitres olive oil
11 -
22 millilitres unsalted butter
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Line a large baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, grated cheddar, almond flour, egg, minced garlic, dried parsley, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix thoroughly by hand until evenly incorporated.
03 -
Shape the mixture using 2 tablespoons at a time into small patties approximately 6 to 7.5 centimeters wide. Arrange the patties on the prepared baking sheet.
04 -
Refrigerate the patties for 1 hour to firm up before cooking.
05 -
Heat 15 millilitres olive oil and 7 millilitres butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place 8 to 10 chilled patties in the pan without overcrowding. Cook each side for approximately 3 minutes, or until golden and the internal temperature reaches 74°C.
06 -
Transfer cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb extra oil. Repeat the frying process in two additional batches, using more oil and butter as needed. Remove any burnt-on cheese from the pan between batches to prevent scorching.
07 -
Serve the fritters warm with preferred dipping sauces such as ranch or bleu cheese dressing.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Chilling the patties before frying helps them retain their shape during cooking.
