Ingredients for Chicken Croquettes:
- 125 grams fresh chicken fillet
- 2 teaspoons corn flour
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Oil (just enough to cover croquettes during frying)
Batter:
- 125 grams self raising flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Water (In small quantities to obtain a thick batter)
Method:
- Cut chicken into approximately 1 cm (half inch) pieces.
- Season the chicken pieces with the fish sauce, salt and pepper. Set aside to absorb seasoning. Be careful not to add too much salt.
- Beat up the 2 eggs and 1 tablespoon water.
- Mix the flour and salt. Gradually blend in the egg mixture. Add water little by little to obtain a thick batter consistency. It should just run off slowly from a tablespoon.
- Add the corn flour to the chicken pieces and mix thoroughly. Mix the chicken pieces into the batter to uniformly coat every chicken piece.
- Heat oil (enough to cover croquettes during frying) in a deep frying pan to simmering point. Reduce heat to low.
- Spoon out the chicken pieces one at a time with a batter coating and drop into the simmering oil. Cook to a light golden brown colour.
- Remove cooked croquettes, drain and serve hot with chilli sauce or sauce d'ail
