Chicken Croquette

The original recipe for KFC’s creamy, crispy and signature snack is here.

 

Ingredients to use (general serving quantity):

  • 1-piece original recipe KFC chicken (1 piece or as per the number of people to serve)
  • 1 medium potato whipped (KFC-style Whipped Potato)
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup plain flour
  • ½ cup frozen mixed vegetables
  • 1/3 cup shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese
  • 1 ½ cup Panko breadcrumbs

Preparation:

  1. Thaw the frozen mixed vegetables to bring them to room temperature.
  2. Debone the KFC chicken and shred it well.
  3. From the potato bowl, take out only the KFC Whipped Potato into another bowl and leave the gravy for later use.
  4. To this bowl of whipped potato, add in the thawed mixed vegetables, shredded chicken and shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
  5. Mix them well, divide into four equal portions and refrigerate for about 20 minutes to set.
  6. Now, crack the egg into a bowl and beat it well to get a good mixture.
  7. Take the bowl out of the fridge and use your hand to shape each of the 4 portions into a croquette. You can do so by rolling them into a ball and then flattening to your preferred thickness.
  8. Coat each croquette with plain flour first, then dip both sides in the beaten egg mixture and lastly, coat it with the breadcrumbs.
  9. Add oil to a frying pan, about the same amount as the thickness of your croquettes and heat it up to 170 or 177°C (or just hot enough to fry the croquettes).
  10. Fry the croquettes for about 2 minutes, until they turn golden brown.
  11. Place them on an absorbent paper and serve hot.
  12. Dip the crispy croquettes in the KFC Whipped Potato gravy as a sauce and enjoy these tasty delights.
