Crispy Arroz Con Pollo Croquettes

Method

Crispy Arroz Con Pollo Croquettes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Croquette Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked arroz con pollo, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

  2. 2

    Shape the Croquettes

    Form the mixture into small balls or patties, about 2 inches in diameter. Set aside on a plate.

  3. 3

    Breading

    Set up a breading station with three dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Dredge each croquette first in flour, then dip in eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Fry the Croquettes

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the croquettes in batches and fry until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Chicken Fat Mayo

  1. 5

    Mix the Mayo

    In a bowl, combine chicken fat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and well blended.

Shaved Cabbage Salad

  1. 6

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced cabbage and grated carrot. Drizzle with olive oil and apple cider vinegar, and season with salt and black pepper. Toss well to combine.
