Step 1: Combine All Ingredients
In a large bowl, mix ground chicken, Parmesan, onion, parsley, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, and seasonings. Pro tip: If using shredded cooked chicken, add 1 extra egg and 2 tbsp mayo or Greek yogurt for moisture.
Step 2: Form the Fritters
Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties (about 2-3 inches in diameter). Pro tip: Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking!

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat
Cook fritters for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy the crispy, savory goodness!
