Total Time: 2.5 Hours

Ingredients

  • 1 chicken breast
  • 2 chicken thighs
  • 6oz Prosciutto
  • 1/4 flour
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
  • Green onions
  • Zavalas Bird Rub
  • Salt to taste
  • 3 eggs
  • Flour to dredge
  • Panko bread crumbs
  • Peanut oil

Instructions

  1. Smoke chicken with Zavalas Bird Rub at 325 until breast reaches 165. Let cool completely and then pull and shred.
  2. Cut the prosciutto into small pieces and sauté with oil, the chicken, and green onions. Add the flour, milk, and nutmeg until mixture thickens. Place in a bowl and refrigerate 1 hour to tighten the mixture up.
  3. Form mixture into palm-size oval shapes. Roll in flour, then egg wash, and cover in panko. This will make about 14-16 croquettes.
  4. Heat peanut oil to 350 degrees and fry 4-5 croquettes at a time. Each batch will take about 1 min to get golden and crunchy.
