    Prepare three plates: flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, breadcrumb-parmesan mixture in the third.

  3. 3

    Dip each chicken piece successively in flour (shake off excess), then in egg, finally in breadcrumb-parmesan mixture pressing lightly.

  4. 4

    Arrange breaded croquettes on a tray and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes for better adhesion.

  5. 5

    In a large pan, heat oil over medium heat (170°C). Cook croquettes 3-4 minutes per side until evenly golden brown.

    Drain cooked croquettes on a rack or paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.

    Serve hot with lemon wedges to squeeze at the moment of tasting.

Tips & Tricks
  • For pieces of equal thickness: use a rolling pin between two sheets of plastic wrap. Shake off excess flour and breadcrumbs at each step for a light crust. Control oil temperature (not too hot or too cold). Don't overcrowd the pan for beautiful golden coloring.
