Notes
- Nutrition calculated without the dipping sauce.
- For more flavor add chopped onion, garlic, spinach to your ground chicken mix.
- Squeeze a little bit of lemon or lime juice on top of hot chicken zucchini fritters before serving.
- Flour - I like to use oat flour or my DIY gluten free flour blend.
- I prefer using two spoons to transfer the chicken mixture from the mixing bowl to the skillet. However, you can also opt for a small ice cream scoop or a cookie scoop to ensure they're uniformly sized.
- If the patties are thicker, they will need a bit more time to cook. The most important thing here is not to overcook the patties as they will become dry.
- If you're unsure or want to be cautious, consider breaking open one fritter to check if it's cooked through before removing them all from the pan.
