Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless chicken breast
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 150 grams Breadcrumbs
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Cut the boneless chicken breast into small chunks and place in a food processor. Pulse until the chicken is finely minced and forms a paste-like consistency.
Step 2
Transfer the minced chicken to a large mixing bowl. Add the minced garlic, chopped onion, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Step 3
Mix all ingredients thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until well combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky and hold together.
Step 4
Form the chicken mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. You should get approximately 20-24 balls depending on the size.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or frying pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be approximately 170°C (340°F). Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature if possible.
Step 6
Gently lower a few chicken balls into the hot oil, ensuring not to crowd the pan. Fry the chicken balls in batches if necessary.
Step 7
Cook each batch for about 4-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F).
Step 8
Remove the cooked chicken balls with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 9
Serve the crispy chicken balls hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili or creamy garlic sauce.
