- The exact amount of eggs needed will depend on the size of your eggs and the consistency of your chicken mixture. Start with a few eggs and add more one at a time until the mixture is able to hold its shape.
- If the mixture seems too wet, you can add a little more breadcrumbs to thicken it up.
- You can experiment with different flavors by adding other herbs and spices to the mixture, such as paprika, cayenne pepper, or chopped fresh herbs.
- These fritters can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a skillet or oven until warmed through.
