How to Make Keto Chicken Fritters
1. Mix It Up
In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cheddar, Parmesan, almond flour, eggs, and seasonings. Mix everything thoroughly until the mixture holds together. If it's too wet, add a small amount of almond flour.
2. Form the Patties
Scoop out portions of the mixture and form them into fritters — about the size of your palm. Press gently to flatten.
3. Heat the Skillet
Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Allow it to heat for a minute before adding the fritters.
4. Fry Until Golden
Cook the fritters for about 3–4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches if needed, and don’t overcrowd the pan.
5. Drain and Serve
Once done, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a crisp green salad.
Tips for Success
Use well-drained chicken – Excess moisture can make the patties fall apart.
Choose fresh cheese – Freshly shredded cheese melts better and adds a richer taste.
Don’t flip too soon – Let the fritters cook fully on one side before flipping to avoid breaking.
Air fryer option – These can also be cooked in an air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for about 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
