Quail Egg-Stuffed Chicken Balls
Ingredients:
- 1/2 kg (1.1 lbs) ground chicken
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 kg (0.55 lbs) quail eggs
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder (optional)
- Breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs, beaten
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, all-purpose flour, black pepper, salt, and chicken bouillon powder (if using). Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
-
Shape the Chicken Balls:
- Take a small portion of the chicken mixture and flatten it in the palm of your hand.
- Place one quail egg in the center of the flattened chicken mixture.
- Carefully fold the chicken mixture around the quail egg, sealing it completely, and shape it into a ball.
- Repeat this process until all the chicken mixture and quail eggs are used.
-
Coat the Chicken Balls:
- Dip each chicken ball into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Roll the egg-coated chicken balls in breadcrumbs, making sure they are evenly covered.
-
Chill the Chicken Balls:
- Place the breadcrumb-coated chicken balls on a tray and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes. This helps them firm up and maintain their shape during frying.
-
Fry the Chicken Balls:
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-low heat.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken balls in batches.
- Fry the chicken balls until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Adjust the heat as necessary to ensure even cooking without burning.
-
Serve:
- Remove the chicken balls from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
- Serve hot as an appetizer, snack, or part of a main meal. Enjoy the delightful surprise of quail eggs hidden inside the crispy chicken balls!
These delightful Quail Egg-Stuffed Chicken Balls are perfect for any occasion, offering a unique twist on traditional chicken appetizers. The tender chicken exterior pairs beautifully with the rich, delicate flavor of the quail eggs, making every bite a delightful experience.
