About Chicken Balls Recipe
Chicken balls also known as chicken cheese balls is one of the most easy and delicious snack you could make with chicken. A flavoure chicken cheese filling is shaped into balls and rolled in panko breadcrumbs and fried.
You can add any spice powders to flavour the chicken balls. I used Italian spices like oregano and chilli flakes. You could use Indian spices or Mexican spices as well. The best thing about this recipe is to shape the ball and put them in fridge or freezer and fry when needed.

hi aarthi, i tried many of your recipes and it came out well.. but, in this recipe, all my chicken balls got opened while frying in oil.. can u help me find the reason?
swetha
Hi Aarthi.. this recipe looks simple and yet tempting.. Can you please let me know if you have used a specific brand of bread crumbs? I am asking this because the texture looks very different from what I have normally and I think thats what gives that flaky look to the balls.. please let me and thanks a lot 🙂
