Ingredients

Chicken mix

  • 1 lb ground chicken (lean)
  • 3 scallions (sliced green parts only)
  • 2 tbsp minced cilantro
  • 1 tsp ginger paste
  • 1 tsp garlic paste
  • 2-3 minced green chilies
  • 2 tbsp mayo
  • ⅓ cup bread crumbs (can add more if your chicken mix is too soft to shape)
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 1.5 tbsp soy sauce

Coating

  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko is best)
  • 1 egg whisked with a splash of water and salt

Instructions

  • Combine all the chicken ingredients in a bowl gently mixing to keep the mix soft.
  • Roll your chicken into 1.5 tbsp sized balls (I use a greased cookie scoop!)
  • Give each piece a whirl in the egg wash and then the breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
  • Fry immediately or refrigerate for up to two days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

While these have flavour they are not spicy. if you want yours to pack a punch I'd increase the green chillies and add half a tsp of chili powder
