Keto Chicken Fritters Cooking Tips

Even though this may be the easiest keto recipe ever, there are a few tips that can make the cooking process go even smoother and more effortless:

• Use the same spoon to scoop the mixture for all fritters. I used a tablespoon to scoop it, and it is perfect for the job. The chicken fritters turned out to be a perfect size.
• Use a nonstick pan. Since you won’t be using lots of oil, I recommend using a nonstick pan so the chicken fritters don’t stick to the surface.
• Fry over low heat. It is best to fry the chicken fritters over low heat since they may get easily burnt or undercooked if fried over medium heat.
• Pulse the chicken in a food processor. If you want to make the fritters even quicker, you can save some time by using a food processor to chop the chicken breasts instead of doing it by hand with a knife.
• Use ground chicken instead of chicken breasts. This way, you’ll save even more time when cooking the chicken fritters. But, know that the texture will be a bit different if you choose to use ground chicken.

With these tips, you’re going to make the best and most delicious low-carb cheesy chicken fritters.

Additional Ingredients

I chose to stick with the simplest possible version of the low-carb chicken fritters. But if you wish, you can add some of these ingredients to the recipe:

• Chopped green onions. If you love the taste and aroma of chopped green onion, then definitely go for it.
• Italian seasoning. This seasoning enhances the flavor of the chicken fritters.
• Sour cream or greek yogurt. With this ingredient, the fritters will be even juicier. But keep in mind that if you add it, the number of carbs will slightly increase.
• Parmesan. You can add some for a cheesier texture, but note that the number of calories will change.

So, whether or not you add other ingredients depends only on your own preferences. But before making any changes to this recipe, try out these chicken fritters as described on the recipe card. You’ll be surprised how flavorful they are.

Storing and Freezing Instructions

You can store the keto chicken fritter leftovers in your fridge for up to 6 days. Just place them in an airtight container or wrap them in some plastic food wrap before putting them in the refrigerator. Then whenever you want to serve the leftovers, simply reheat the fritter in the microwave for a minute or two.

Also, this keto recipe is freezer-friendly. So if you have a bit more free time and have some cooking inspiration, you can make double, or even triple of the chicken fritters and freeze them. 

To do this, follow all of the instructions, fully cook the fritters and then place them on a tray and freeze them separately. Only when they are completely frozen should you transfer them from the tray into a zipper bag.

You can store these chicken fritters in the freezer for 3-4 months. Before serving them, either thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or use the microwave.

Serving Ideas

If you choose to serve these keto chicken fritters as an appetizer, then go with a low-carb sauce. Something out of this list will work:

• Thai dipping sauce
• Apricot dijon mustard sauce
• Low-carb guacamole
• Creamy garlic sauce

Or just mix some sugar-free ketchup, avocado mayo, and yellow mustard. It’s the easiest and quickest option there is.

If you want to serve the fritters for lunch or dinner, the options you can try are endless. Here’s what goes well with this dish:

• Fried cauliflower rice
• Alfredo zoodles
• Broccoli and cauliflower bake
