Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 30 -40 Fritters

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • ½ Cup Whole Milk
  • 1/3 Cup BBQ Sauce
  • 2 Heaping Cups of Corn
  • 2 Cups of Cooked and Shredded Chicken Breast
  • 2 Green Onions chopped
  • Canola Oil for Frying

Instructions

  1. Fill a cast iron skillet or large heavy-bottomed pan with canola oil about ¾ of the way up. Heat the oil over moderate heat until it reaches 365 degrees F.
  2. Meanwhile in a large bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and cayenne pepper together. In a separate small bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, and BBQ sauce. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until almost combined.
  3. Add the chicken, corn, and green onions to the bowl. Mix until evenly coated.
  4. Once the oil is hot, use a small ice cream scoop or teaspoon to add the batter to the oil. Fry for about two minutes on each side, until they are lightly golden. Be sure to monitor the oil temperature as you go. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters and add them to a baking sheet lined with a paper towel to cool and drain.
  5. Serve hot with BBQ sauce or a little chipotle mayo on the side.
