Notes

  1. Cut the chicken into small, even cubes so the patties cook quickly and do not stay raw inside.
  2. Do not skip the 30 minute rest time; it helps the flour absorb moisture and makes the mixture easier to shape.
  3. Fry the patties over medium heat, not high, so they have time to cook through without burning on the outside.
  4. Use a spoon or small scoop to portion the mixture, this keeps the patties the same size and they cook evenly.
  5. Place the fried patties on paper towels to remove extra oil and keep the crust light and pleasant, not greasy.
