Chicken fritters are savory patties made from a blend of ground or chopped chicken, eggs, flour, breadcrumbs, and seasonings, often enhanced with herbs like parsley or garlic for added flavor. A popular dish across various cuisines, chicken fritters are believed to have origins in European comfort cooking, with influences from recipes that repurpose leftover meat. Typically pan-fried or baked, their crispy exterior contrasts with the tender, juicy interior. While chicken fritters provide a solid source of protein from the chicken, the healthiness of the dish depends on preparation methods. Baking instead of frying lowers fat content, while using whole-grain flour or panko breadcrumbs increases fiber. However, traditional recipes often include higher amounts of refined flour or oil, making moderation key. Pair them with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal that can complement their rich, satisfying flavor.
