Step 1
Break up the bread slices into small pieces using a chopper or food processor, then transfer the crumbs to a bowl.
Step 2
In the same chopper, add the chicken along with salt, pepper, paprika, oregano, cumin powder, and chili flakes. Take two bread slices, soak them in water, squeeze out the excess moisture, and add them to the chicken mixture. Blend everything until well combined.
Step 3
Scoop out a small amount of the mixture and shape it into a ball. Roll the ball in the bread crumbs you made earlier, then gently flatten it into a patty.
Step 4
Beat the eggs in a bowl. Dip each patty into the egg wash, coating it completely.
Step 5
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the patties until they turn golden brown on both sides.
Step 6
Remove the patties and drain on paper towels. Serve them hot and enjoy!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use chicken breast or thigh for this recipe?
Yes, both chicken breast and thigh work well. Thigh meat will be juicier.
How do I prevent the patties from falling apart while frying?
Make sure to soak and squeeze the bread properly, blend the mixture well, and coat the patties in egg wash and breadcrumbs.
Can I bake the patties instead of frying them?
Yes, bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through.
What can I use instead of bread crumbs for coating?
You can use crushed cornflakes, panko, or ground nuts as alternatives.
How do I store leftover patties?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat before serving.
Can I freeze the patties before cooking?
Yes, freeze them on a tray first, then transfer to a bag. Cook from frozen, adding extra frying time.
Is there a substitute for the eggs in the coating?
You can use a mixture of water and flour or yogurt as a binding alternative.
How spicy are these patties, and can I adjust the heat?
They have mild to moderate heat from chili flakes; reduce or omit chili flakes to make them less spicy.
