These Dill Pickle Chicken Fritters are crispy, cheesy, and loaded with flavor! Think fried pickles + cheesy chicken, and that gives you a good idea of how amazing these easy chicken fritters are!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1/3 cup finely chopped dill pickles
- 1 tablespoon Ranch seasoning (see notes)
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill finely chopped
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
INSTRUCTIONS
-
Combine the ground chicken, chopped pickles, seasoning, and dill in a mixing bowl. Once the mixture is combined, add the egg, shredded cheddar cheese, and coconut flour.
-
Using a small ice cream scoop or a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pat out the chicken fritters. Pat the fritters a little thinner than you think they need to, as they will puff a bit as they cook.
-
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil begins to shimmer, carefully add the fritters to the skillet. Ensure the fritters are not touching, and do not overcrowd the pan. Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side until the exterior is golden brown and the interior reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees with an instant-read thermometer.
-
When the fritters are cooked through, remove them from the skillet and place on a paper towel lined plate to absorb any extra oil.
-
Serve immediately with the dipping sauce of your choice.
NOTES
*You can use store-bought Ranch seasoning or a homemade blend; many recipes are available online.
