Preparation
Step 1
In addition to the listed spices, you can add your favorites - for example, paprika or dried herbs. However, if you’re using a pre-mixed seasoning blend, keep in mind that it may already contain salt and pepper, so don’t overdo it.
Step 2
Rinse the chicken fillet, pat it dry, and remove any film or fat. Cut the meat into very small cubes. You can use thigh meat instead of breast - it will make the patties juicier and richer. Breast meat gives a leaner version.
Step 3
In a bowl, crack an egg, add the chopped chicken, mayonnaise, and spices. I used chicken seasoning, salt, pepper, and a bit of paprika. Mix thoroughly until uniform, then let it marinate for 20 minutes.
Step 4
Add sifted flour to the mixture and stir well. The mixture will begin to thicken quickly as the flour absorbs moisture.
Step 5
Depending on the flour, mayonnaise texture, and egg size, the mixture may be slightly runny or thick. Adjust as you prefer. If it’s too dense, add a bit more mayonnaise or milk to loosen it.
Step 6
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Using a tablespoon, place portions of the chicken mixture into the hot oil, shaping small patties. Fry on one side for about 5-6 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook another 6-8 minutes covered, until done. Adjust based on your stove.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate and serve immediately. They pair perfectly with boiled vegetables, grains, pasta, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
