Chicken Croquettes Recipe

Method:

Cook the chicken legs with vegetables in the water. Once boiling, put lid on and bring to a simmering for 1.5 hours.

Leave the chicken legs to cool down and pass the stock through a fine chinoise. Reserve.

Pull all the chicken meat out and flake it using your hands. Reserve.

For the filling, sweat the onions in the butter for 4 mins, then add the chicken meat and stir it for 5 mins.

Add the flour and stir until roux stage is achieved.

Then, add slowly the hot milk and chicken stock into the roux while whisking constantly.

Carry on cooking and whisking the mix until gets thick enough. Add the seasonings.

Pass it into a clean container and put cling film in contact. Leave it in the fridge for 24 hours.

After this time, portion the mix and shape the croquettes as desired.

Panne them by using flour, eggs and breadcrumbs, in that order.

For a second time deep in the eggs and breadcrumbs to give a double coating.

Deep fry in sunflower oil.

Enjoy!
