How to choose good chicken
- Good chicken has thin, smooth skin, light yellow color, with some areas like breast, wings, back being darker yellow.
- Fresh chicken meat has a rosy, bright color. When touched, it feels smooth and has high elasticity.
- The meat has a characteristic aroma; do not choose chicken with a foul or strange smell. Choose lean chicken meat or deboned pieces, then remove the skin and fat to get chicken fillet.

Take it out into a bowl, then add 100g of cheese powder and thyme leaves, mix well until the chicken is smooth and absorbs the spices.Scoop out 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture, flatten it, cut the mozzarella cheese into cubes of 2 – 3cm depending on your preference, then place the cheese in the middle and roll it into a ball.

Fried Chicken
Crack 2 eggs into a large bowl. Place the crispy flour and breadcrumb flour onto 2 separate plates.
Dip the chicken balls sequentially into the egg bowl, then into the crispy flour, and finally into the breadcrumbs.Heat a frying pan with enough oil to submerge the shaped chicken balls. When the oil is hot, add the chicken balls and fry for about 2 – 3 minutes.
Use chopsticks to gently turn the chicken balls to prevent them from breaking. Fry until they are evenly golden, then remove and place them on a plate lined with paper towels or absorbent paper.
