Instructions

To a large bowl, add all the ingredients (except the olive oil) and stir to combine.
To a large skillet, add the olive oil, and then add the chicken in heaping 1-tablespoon sized mounds. Flatten as needed until it's in a flatter patty shape. Tip - I use two spoons for the process of scooping and then flattening, but you can figure out what 'system' you like the best.
Fry for about 3 minutes on the first side, flip, and fry for about 3 minutes on the second side. To check for doneness, break open one of the patties and make sure the chicken is cooked through completely. Tip - If your skillet isn't big enough, you may need to fry in batches rather than over-crowding the skillet.
If desired, you can place them on paper towels to blot a bit of the oil, but I don't. I serve them immediately with my dips and sauce* (see below for ideas). Fritters are best hot and fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months. Another serving suggestion is to make sliders with them. I recommend Hawaiian bread slider buns if you go this route.

Notes

*Dip and sauce suggestions include:
Air Fryer Option
My recommendation is a 375F air fryer with a well sprayed basket, don’t crowd the patties, and air fry them for about 3 minutes per side, or until they’re done. Exact cooking time will depend on your model of air fryer and how big the patties are.
Barbecue sauce
Ranch
Aioli
Honey mustard
Ketchup
Salsa (Pineapple Chipotle, Tomatillo Avocado, Peach Mango, Restaurant-Style)
Hot sauce (Huichol, Tapatio, etc.)
