ingredients

4 Servings

100 g hard cheese, grated (e.g., cheddar or gouda)50 g all-purpose flour2 pcs large eggs150 g breadcrumbs2.5 g salt1.3 g ground black pepper2.5 g sweet paprika powder500 ml vegetable oil, for frying

Steps

Preparation

In a large bowl, combine the minced chicken breast with the grated cheese, salt, pepper, and sweet paprika powder. Mix thoroughly until you get a uniform mixture.

Forming Balls

With wet hands, form the mixture into balls about the size of a golf ball. Prepare three deep plates: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and the third with breadcrumbs.

Breading

Roll the chicken balls first in the flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally in the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated everywhere.

Frying

Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot over medium heat (approx. 170-180°C / 340-350°F). Fry the chicken balls in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through. Remove them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serving

Serve immediately while hot, with a fresh salad or your favorite dipping sauce.

Extra Tips

► For an even crispier result, chill the breaded balls in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before frying.

► Serve with a fresh salad or your favorite dipping sauce, such as garlic sour cream or tomato sauce.

► If you don't have minced chicken, finely chop it with a sharp knife or use a food processor.
