Notes
I have used chicken breast for a healthier option but it can be made with chicken thigh mince too which will be more juicier and tastier.
I have used Panko breadcrumbs for the outer coating for a more crispy covering but it can be made with regular plain breadcrumbs too. I have used American Garden Panko breadcrumbs.
If stored in an airtight container or a zip lock bag in the freezer, these lasts upto a month or two. Do not Thaw before frying. Fry them straight away in medium hot vegetable or sunflower oil till golden brown on both sides.
