Dill Pickle Chicken Fritters

 

Step-by-Step Instructions

The Method

1
Combine the Fritter Batter
Prep time: 10 mins

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground or chopped chicken, egg, shredded cheese, almond flour (or breadcrumbs), pickle juice, garlic powder, and fresh dill. Stir until completely cohesive, then gently fold in the finely diced pickles.

2
Heat the Pan
Prep time: 5 mins

Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. You want the oil hot enough to sizzle gently when the batter hits the pan, but not so hot that it burns the outside before cooking the chicken through.

3
Shape and Pan-Fry
Cook time: 8-10 mins

Scoop out roughly 2-tablespoon portions of the chicken mixture and drop them into the hot skillet. Use the back of a spatula to gently flatten them into patties (about 1/2-inch thick). Cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, turning only once, until the exterior is deeply golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

4
Drain and Rest
Prep time: 2 mins

Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Let them rest for 2 to 3 minutes to firm up before serving.

 

The Ultimate Dipping Sauce

While these fritters are packed with flavor on their own, they truly sing when paired with a creamy dipping sauce. Whip up a quick Garlic-Dill Aioli while they fry:

  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise or Plain Greek Yogurt

  • 1 tablespoon Pickle Juice

  • 1 clove Garlic, finely minced

  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Dill, chopped

  • A pinch of black pepper

Mix it all together and chill until ready to serve. The cool, creamy sauce perfectly balances the warm, briny crunch of the fritters.
