Ingredients

Fritter Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped dill pickles
  • 1 tablespoon Ranch seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon coconut flour
  • About 1/4 inch of cooking oil (vegetable or canola) for frying

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the ground chicken, chopped dill pickles, Ranch seasoning, and fresh dill. Once evenly combined, add the egg, shredded cheddar cheese, and coconut flour to the mixture. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Form Fritters: Using a small ice cream scoop or a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop out portions of the mixture and gently pat them into fritters, making them slightly thinner than desired since they will puff during cooking.
  3. Heat Oil: Pour about 1/4 inch of oil into a large skillet and heat over medium heat. Heat until the oil begins to shimmer, indicating it is hot enough for frying.
  4. Cook Fritters: Carefully add the fritters into the skillet without crowding the pan, making sure they don’t touch each other. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown on the outside and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Drain and Serve: Remove the cooked fritters and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • You can use store-bought Ranch seasoning or a homemade blend; many recipes are available online.
  • Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  • Use an instant-read thermometer to check that fritters reach 165°F internally for safe consumption.
  • For a lower-carb version, ensure the coconut flour used is unsweetened and pure.
