Why This Recipe Is So Tasty
These snacks are perfect for quick bites and party treats. They combine crispy edges with juicy chicken inside, making them both satisfying and flavorful. Plus, they are easy to make and great for all ages.
Step 1
Put the bread slices into a food processor and pulse them until they’re finely chopped. Then add the boneless chicken, coriander, ginger garlic paste, salt, chili powder, black pepper, cumin seeds, chili flakes, fresh chilies, and an egg. Blend everything together until it forms a smooth mixture.
Step 2
Lightly grease your hands with some oil to stop the mixture from sticking. Take small portions and shape them into little donut rings.
Step 3
In a bowl, beat two eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Dip each chicken ring into the egg wash, then coat it well with breadcrumbs.
Step 4
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the chicken rings until they turn crispy and golden brown on all sides.
Step 5
Drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil, then serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
