seasoned ground chicken with a crispy crunchy coating

📝 Ingredients

• 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
• 1/3 cup bread crumbs ((can add more if your chicken mix is too soft to shape))

• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1.5 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko is best)
• 1 egg whisked with a splash of water and salt

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Combine all the chicken ingredients in a bowl gently mixing to keep the mix soft.
2. 2Roll your chicken into 1.5 tbsp sized balls (I use a greased cookie scoop!)

4. 4Fry immediately or refrigerate for up to two days or freeze for up to 3 months.
