Fun way for kids to eat chicken without mom having to de-bone everything.

Ingredients

2 C. chicken, cooked, boned, cut into chunks
1 onion, cut into chunks
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbs. prepared Dijon mustard
2 Tbs. mayonnaise or creamy garlic dressing
1 Tbs. honey
1 Tbs. vegetable oil
2 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. salt to taste
1 Tsp. pepper
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. chili powder to taste
1 C. flavored breadcrumbs
Breading:
1-2 eggs, beaten, may add water
Additional bread crumbs for coating.
Vegetable oil for frying

Directions

Put all the croquette ingredients into a food processor and chop until finely minced and able to mold into croquettes. (Adjust consistency by adding oil or breadcrumbs.) Shape into patties (or chicken leg shapes). Dip in beaten egg, roll in breadcrumbs and fry until golden and cooked.

Tip: When I was a kid, we affectionately called these Chicken-Pops because my mom made them in the shape of a drumstick. She inserted a Popsicle stick so that I could lift the leg and eat it from the "bone"!
