Instructions

Dice up the chicken breast into 1/4 inch pieces. Then add the chicken into a large bowl along with all the other ingredients besides the oil (for frying).
Use a large spoon or your clean hands to mix all the ingredients thoroughly. Then let the chicken mixture sit for 5-10 minutes to allow time for the cornstarch to hydrate. This step is important to help the fritters keep their shape and prevent falling apart when flipping.
Bring a large skillet over medium-high heat (350-365ºF), then add the olive oil. Once it’s hot, use a large cookie scoop to drop mounds of the chicken fritter mixture into the hot oil.
I like to slightly press them down with the back of my cookie scoop and shape them a little immediately after I place them in the skillet. This ensures more even cooking. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side. Tip: Avoid overcrowding the pan. I cooked about 4 fritters at a time. Once they are golden and crispy and reach 165ºF in the center of the fritter, they are done. Serve as is or with ranch, garlic aioli, or just sour cream.
