How to prepare Fried Chicken Balls
-
Prepare and grind the chicken meat
Wash the chicken breast with 1 tablespoon of salt, then rinse it several times with clean water and let it dry.
Cut the chicken breast into small cubes and then put it into the meat grinder to grind it finely, then transfer the ground meat to a bowl.
-
Prepare the other ingredients
Wash the green onions and chili, then chop them finely. Peel the shallots and chop them finely.
-
Mix the ground chicken mixture
Add the chopped green onions, chili, and shallots to the ground chicken, season with 1 teaspoon of fish sauce, 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and crack in 1 egg, then mix well.
Continue to add 50g of flour and mix the mixture thoroughly so that the spices and chicken blend together and form a sticky dough.
Tip: Adding flour will help create a binding texture for the mixture.
-
Put on plastic gloves, then take about 1 tablespoon of the ground chicken mixture and shape it into a ball, repeating until all the ground chicken mixture is used up.
Crack one egg into a bowl, whisk it well, and pour 100g of breadcrumbs onto a plate. Then, roll each chicken ball in the egg and breadcrumbs in turn.
Tip:
- You can spread a little cooking oil on the gloves to prevent the chicken mixture from sticking to them while shaping.
- You can shape the balls according to the size and shape you want.
-
Frying the chicken nuggets
Place a pan on the stove and heat 300ml of cooking oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken nuggets and fry over medium heat for about 10 – 15 minutes.
While frying, turn the nuggets regularly until they are golden brown on all sides, then remove them and place the nuggets on a plate lined with paper towel to absorb excess oil, and then skewer the nuggets to finish.
-
Final product
When completed, the fried chicken nuggets will be incredibly addictive with a crispy outer layer and tender, delicious chicken breast filling inside. Dipping the fried nuggets in red chili sauce, mayonnaise sauce, or green chili sauce will enhance the flavor of the dish!

Prepare Ingredients
After buying the chicken, soak it in diluted salt water for about 15 minutes to reduce the fishy smell, then rinse thoroughly with water. Next, use a knife to cut the chicken into pieces and finely chop it.
After peeling the onion and washing it clean, chop it finely with a knife.
-
Marinate the spices
You add the ingredients including: 400g minced chicken, 50g finely chopped onion, 1/2 tablespoon monosodium glutamate, 1/3 tablespoon salt, 1/2 tablespoon seasoning powder, 1/2 tablespoon oyster sauce, 1/2 tablespoon sugar, 1/3 tablespoon five-spice powder, 1/2 tablespoon pepper, 15g tapioca starch, and 20ml filtered water into bowl.
Next, you mix all the ingredients and spices together and marinate for about 15 minutes for the chicken to absorb the spices evenly. After marinating, you divide the chicken into small pieces, roll them into balls, and flatten them into bite-sized pieces.
-
Fry the chicken balls
You place a pan on the stove, add about 5 tablespoons of cooking oil to the pan, heat it over medium heat until the oil is hot, then reduce the heat and add each flattened chicken ball in turn.
You continue to fry and turn them evenly for about 5 minutes until the chicken balls are cooked evenly on both sides, then remove them to drain the oil.
-
Final product
The fried chicken balls after completion will be evenly golden, emitting an attractive aroma characteristic of fried meat and five-spice powder. When eaten, you will feel the crispy outer layer and the soft, sweet, and well-seasoned meat inside.
Enjoy it with hot rice, noodles, or in a sandwich; it’s delicious and appealing even to the pickiest eaters!
How to choose fresh chicken breast
- To choose a good chicken breast, select a piece that has white skin and light pink meat, as this indicates that it is from a mature chicken, which will have firmer and tastier meat.
- When pressing on the piece of meat, it should bounce back, not be soft or mushy, and the skin and fat should be tightly attached to the chicken breast.
- Avoid choosing pieces with an unpleasant odor or slimy texture, as these may be spoiled chicken breasts and not good for consumption.
You can easily find fried flour, all-purpose flour at Bách Hóa XANH supermarkets nationwide; additionally, you can also purchase online at bachhoaxanh.com.
Tips for using leftover oil
- Cooking oil should be stored in clean plastic or glass containers, absolutely do not pour it back into the bottle of cooking oil that is currently in use.
- Let the cooking oil cool down completely. Place filter on a bowl. You can also line it with a paper towel to ensure no residue remains, helping to clean the oil and making it safer for the next use.
- Wait for the oil to be filtered clean; if you are meticulous, you can filter it multiple times and then pour the oil into a jar, seal it tightly, and store it in a cool place.
