Master the Howard Johnson's Chicken Croquettes Recipe with our easy guide. Crispy, golden, and absolutely delicious!
Equipment
- Deep fryer or large frying pan
- Mixing bowls
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Potato masher
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 1 cup Mashed potatoes
- 1 medium Onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons Parsley chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs beaten
- ½ cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Bread crumbs
- As needed Oil for frying
Instructions
Step 1 – Prep the Mixture
- Combine ground chicken, mashed potatoes, onion, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl.
- Mix until everything is well blended.
- Make sure your hands are clean or use gloves – it’s the best way to mix!
Step 2 – Shape the Croquettes
- Scoop about a quarter cup of the mixture and form it into an oval shape.
- Continue until all the mixture is used.
- A little tip: Wet your hands with some water to prevent the mixture from sticking!
Step 3 – Coat the Croquettes
- Dip each croquette first into flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally, coat them thoroughly with bread crumbs.
- Set them aside on parchment paper.
- Layering the coatings will give you that perfect, crispy texture!
Step 4 – Fry the Croquettes
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large frying pan over medium heat.
- Fry the croquettes until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Be patient while frying; keeping the oil too hot might burn the crumbs before cooking the inside!
Notes
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the croquettes to avoid them absorbing too much oil and becoming greasy.
- If you prefer a less oily option, consider baking the croquettes at 375°F for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
