- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil or avocado oil, for frying
Directions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, almond flour, grated Parmesan, egg, chopped dill pickles, fresh dill, garlic powder, and onion powder. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Mix everything together until thoroughly combined.
2. Form the mixture into small patties, approximately 2 inches in diameter.
3. Heat a generous amount of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet.
4. Fry the chicken fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
5. Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Variations & Tips
For those who enjoy a bigger kick, a dabble of cayenne pepper can be added to the mix for a bit of spice. As for variations, try incorporating other herbs such as chives or parsley for a different herbal note. Almond flour serves as a wonderful low-carb option, but if that isn't a concern, panko breadcrumbs can offer a crispier texture. It's also paramount to use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature—this will help achieve the perfect golden crust while preventing the fritters from absorbing too much oil. These fritters can also be baked in an oven preheated to 400°F for about 20 minutes for a lighter approach. Whether for a family dinner or a casual gathering, these Low Carb Dill Pickle Chicken Fritters are sure to please a crowd. Enjoy!
