Ingredients
- 250 grams Chicken Minced
- ½ tsp / 3 g Salt
- ½ tsp / 1 g Pepper
- 1 tsp / 2 g Red chili powder
- 1 tsp / 1 tsp Mixed herbs
- 1 tsp / 6 g Garlic-ginger paste
- 2 tbsp / 16 g Cornstarch
- ½ cup / 56 g Mozzarella cheese Grated
- Oil to deep fry
Instructions
Prepare The Chicken
- First, take the chicken mince in a bowl. You can mince the chicken(boneless) using a food processor, grinder, or knife.
- Make sure to wash and properly dry the chicken before mince them.
- Add salt, pepper, red chili powder, mixed herbs, garlic-ginger paste, cornstarch, and the grated cheese to the mince.
- Mix everything well.
Assemble The Fingers
- Then clean your hand and grease with oil.
- Now take small portions and, on top of a smooth surface, shape them into fingers.
- Coat them with flour after you shape each one.
Prepare The Coating
- Beat eggs in a small bowl and take the breadcrumbs in another bowl.
- Now dip the fingers in beaten eggs and coat them with breadcrumbs.
- Now at this point when you finish coating all the fingers if you want to freeze them for future use, keep them all in the freezer with the tray for an hour to two.
- After that, they become a little hard. Then put them in ziplock bags or in an airtight box and you can reserve them up to 2 months.
Fry The Fingers
- Now, to deep-fry the fingers, heat oil in a frying pan on medium flame.
- Once the oil is heated, turn the flame to medium and fry the fingers on medium flame until golden brown or fully cooked through.
- Do not overcrowd the pan; fry 4-5 fingers simultaneously. (also, do not fry them on high heat because that way, they will turn brown very quickly, but the chicken won't cook properly)
- When golden brown, remove them on a paper towel, and your delicious chicken cheese fingers are ready.
- Serve them with your favorite sauce and enjoy!
