Instructions
- Mise en Place
- Put the chicken in the food processor.
- Process the chicken until the pieces are a little larger than rice grains. Set that aside.
- Put the leftover mashed potatoes in the bowl of a stand mixer with the spices.
- Mix that together well.
- Add the chicken and stir well. Make sure all the chicken and mashed potato are together.
- Using a medium-size ice cream scoop, scoop out some of the chicken mixture. Form it into a cylindrical shape and put it on your board. Continue doing this until all the chicken mixtuire is used up.
- You can refrigerate the croquettes if you need to at this point.
- Put the flour and spices into one of the breading trays.
- Break the eggs into the second breading tray and use the fork to stir them until no whites show.
- Put the panko bread crumbs in the last breading tray.
- Dip a croquette in the flour first, shaking any excess off, then in the egg, and finally in the panko. Roll the croquette so it is completely covered.
- Put the breaded croquettes on a flexiable cutting board and put them in the freezer for about 20 minutes. If you want to freeze them for another time, leave them in until they are hard then you can vacuum seal them.
- If you are cooking them from frozen, heat your air fryer to 360 °F (182 °C) and cook them for about 17 minutes or until they are heated through.
- If you are cooking them after only 20 minutes in the freezer, you can cook them for only 7 minutes.
