Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper (freshly cracked)
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk

Method
 

  1. Gather and prepare all ingredients.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the ground chicken, ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper, and ½ tsp garlic powder.
  4. Cook the chicken for about 8 minutes until fully cooked.
  5. Melt the butter in the skillet and add 3 tablespoons flour, cooking for 1 minute.
  6. Slowly add the milk, whisking until the sauce thickens.
  7. Stir in the cooked chicken and season with salt and pepper.
  8. Chill the mixture for at least 30 minutes before shaping into croquettes.

Notes

- For the crispiest croquettes, chill the shaped mixture for at least 30 minutes before frying.
- Ensure your oil is at the correct temperature (around 350°F/175°C) for frying to get a golden crust without burning.
- If you don't have ground chicken, finely chopped chicken can also be used.
