Chicken Balls with Paprika and Fried Breadcrumbs

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, beaten egg, breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
2. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
3. Form mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.
4. Roll each chicken ball in flour until well coated.
5. In a frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat.
6. Once the oil is hot, place the chicken balls into the pan and fry, turning frequently, until they are golden brown and fully cooked through (about 10-12 minutes total).
7. Remove the chicken balls from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
8. In a separate pan, fry breadcrumbs until they are golden brown.
9. Serve the chicken balls warm with paprika and fried breadcrumbs sprinkled on top.

These chicken balls are savory, slightly spicy, and perfect for a party or as a main dish. The paprika and fried breadcrumbs add a nice crunch and depth of flavor. They’re sure to be a crowd-pleaser!
