Why This Dish Is Amazing
A perfect combination of crispy bread and tender chicken, making it a crowd-pleaser for any occasion. It’s easy to prepare and offers a great balance of flavors and textures that everyone will enjoy.
Step 1
In a bowl, combine the boiled chicken, chopped capsicum, salt, pepper, and mayonnaise. Mix everything well to make the chicken filling, then set it aside.
Step 2
Take your bread slices and trim off the crusts. Quickly dip each slice in a bowl of water, then gently squeeze out the excess water so the bread is damp but not soggy.
Step 3
Place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of each bread slice and shape it into a small ball.
Step 4
Roll the balls in breadcrumbs to coat them evenly.
Step 5
Make the flour slurry by mixing flour, salt, pepper, chili flakes, and enough water to get a smooth, lump-free batter.
Step 6
Dip each breadcrumb-coated ball into the flour slurry, then roll them in breadcrumbs again for an extra crispy layer.
Step 7
Heat oil in a pan and fry the balls until they turn golden brown and crispy all over.
Step 8
Drain on paper towels, garnish with a little mayonnaise, and enjoy your tasty chicken bread bites!

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I use instead of mayonnaise in the filling?

Can I bake the balls instead of frying?
Yes, you can bake them at 180°C (350°F) for about 20 minutes or until golden and crispy.
How do I make sure the coating stays on while frying?
Double coating with flour slurry and breadcrumbs helps the coating stick and stay crispy.
