I made these and they were so delicious that I immediately had to make more for my son and friend who also raved about them. The next day my husband and I had them for lunch saying we're going to have to have these again soon! That was a week ago and he came home yesterday with chicken so we're having them again tonight! You must try this recipe and be sure you make the aioli sauce because it's an unbeatable combination, although they're pretty good without it. It is definitely going to be a new staple!
Easy Cheesy Chicken Fritters Recipe is just a fantastic for trying at kitchen. I always use organic ghee instead of using olive oil. Ghee offers a high smoke point, which is higher than olive oil and other vegetable oils.
