Ingredients

For the Patties:

  • 500 g ground chicken (or finely shredded chicken)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp flour (optional for binding)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika

For Frying:

  • 3–4 tbsp oil (vegetable or olive oil)

 Instructions

  1. Prepare the mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic, onion, parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix until well combined but do not overmix.
  2. Shape patties: Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into round, flat patties.
  3. Heat oil: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot.
  4. Cook patties: Place patties in the pan and cook for about 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked inside.
  5. Drain excess oil: Remove patties and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  6. Serve: Serve hot with dipping sauce, salad, or bread.
