🍗 Chicken Patties Recipe
🔹 Prep Time: 15 minutes
🔹 Cook Time: 15–20 minutes

✨ Ingredients
For the Patties:
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (boiled or roasted)
- 1 medium potato, boiled and mashed
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1–2 green chilies, finely chopped (optional for heat)
- 2 tbsp fresh coriander or parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
- 1/2 tsp red chili powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder (optional)
- Salt to taste
- 1 egg
- 2–3 tbsp bread crumbs (for binding; adjust as needed)
For Coating:
- 1 egg, beaten (for dipping)
- 1 cup bread crumbs (for coating)
For Frying:
- Oil for shallow or deep frying
🍽️ Instructions
🔸 1. Prepare the Mixture
- In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, mashed potato, onion, green chilies, and herbs.
- Add ginger-garlic paste, spices, salt, egg, and bread crumbs.
- Mix well until everything binds together into a soft dough-like mixture. Add more bread crumbs if the mixture is too wet.
🔸 2. Shape the Patties
- Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into round or oval patties (about 1/2 inch thick).
- You should get 6–8 patties depending on size.
🔸 3. Coat the Patties
- Dip each patty into the beaten egg, then coat with bread crumbs.
- For an extra-crispy finish, you can double coat (egg → crumbs → egg → crumbs).
🔸 4. Fry the Patties
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Shallow fry the patties in batches until golden brown and crispy—about 3–4 minutes per side.
- Remove and drain on paper towels.
🧂 Serving Suggestions
- Serve hot with ketchup, mint chutney, or garlic mayo.
- Use them in burgers, wraps, or sandwiches.
- Great as a lunchbox or party appetizer too!
💡 Tips & Variations
- Make ahead: Prepare and freeze patties before frying for quick meals later.
- Healthier version: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Cheesy twist: Add shredded cheese to the filling for a melty center.
- Spice it up: Add chili flakes or hot sauce to the mix for extra heat.
