Where to find ingredients
You can find all-purpose flour, margarine, and chicken breasts at local supermarkets. Chicken bouillon cubes and breadcrumbs are standard pantry items available in the baking and dry goods aisles of most major retailers. For the best result, use fresh, free-range eggs.
Preparation method
- Dissolve the chicken bouillon cube in the water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Add the margarine and the flour, stirring vigorously and continuously until the mixture pulls away from the bottom of the pot and forms a smooth, cohesive dough.
- Transfer the dough to a stand mixer, add the two eggs and salt, and beat until fully incorporated.
- Remove the dough from the mixer and finish by kneading it lightly by hand on a smooth surface.
- Divide the dough while it is still warm into 40 equal portions.
- Flatten each portion in the palm of your hand, place a spoonful of the seasoned shredded chicken in the center, and close it, molding it into the traditional teardrop shape.
- Dip each unit into the beaten eggs and then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
- Deep-fry in hot oil until they are golden brown and perfectly crispy.
