Mix all the crab ball ingredients together. Taste for seasoning.
Using a small ice cream scoop, form the mixture into balls and set aside. The balls should be about 1 1/2 inches 3.81 cm.
Get three shallow bowls or containers and put in one flour with chipotle, one egg, and one Panko breadcrumbs. Mix the flour and chipotle nicely. Beat the egg lightly with a fork.
Dip the balls first in the flour mixture and shake off the excess. Then dip in the egg, letting the excess drip off, then roll in the panko bread crumbs.
Put the balls in the refrigerator, uncovered.
Put the oil in a deep saucepan or fryer and heat it to 380 F/ 193 C.
While the oil is heating up, make the sauce and refrigerate it until the oil is hot enough.
Get a rack and put some paper towels on it to absorb the grease.
Dip two or three balls into the hot fat and let them cook until they have lightly browned about 3-4 minutes. Remove them from the fat and put them on the paper to absorb the grease,
Serve with the sauce,
