🔥 Tips
- Use rotisserie chicken for extra flavor and convenience.
- If the mixture feels too wet, add a little more breadcrumbs.
- For extra crispiness, coat each fritter lightly in breadcrumbs before frying.
- You can bake them at 375°F (190°C) for 18–20 minutes instead of frying for a healthier option.
- Add chopped jalapeños or chili flakes for a spicy kick!
