How to Make Chicken Corn Fritters

  1. Combine 1 cup of corn kernels in a medium bowl.
  2. Gently crush the corn kernels using a potato masher; leave some texture.
  3. Stir in 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup milk, 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Heat 2 inches of oil (about 1 inch deep in a skillet or enough for deep frying) in a large skillet or deep-fat fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Carefully drop spoonfuls of the fritter batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  8. Fry for approximately 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust cooking time depending on the size of your fritters and your equipment.
  9. Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
