Introduction to Cheesy Chicken Fritters
Below are photos and recipe steps so you can easily make this chicken fritter recipe at home. You will also need a stovetop burner, a large skillet, a mixing bowl, and a small ice cream scoop or ¼ cup measuring cup.
Mixing and Forming the Fritters
Combine the ground chicken, cooked bacon, Ranch seasoning, and green onions in a bowl. Once the mixture is combined, add the egg, shredded cheddar cheese, and coconut flour, and mix until well combined. Using a small ice cream scoop or a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop out the chicken mixture. Pat the fritters a little thinner than you think they need to, as they will puff a bit as they cook.
Pan-Frying the Fritters
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil begins to simmer, carefully add the patties to the skillet. Ensure the fritters are not touching, and do not overcrowd the pan. Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side until the exterior is golden brown and the interior reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF with an instant-read thermometer. When the fritters are cooked through, remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any extra oil. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce of your choice.
