Where to find ingredients

If you cannot find the exact seasoning blend, you may substitute it with a mixture of oregano, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of turmeric.
Preparation method
- In a saucepan, sauté the shredded chicken with the chopped onion, olives, bouillon cube, tempero baiano, cumin, and salt; add a splash of water if necessary, cooking until the flavors meld and the liquid evaporates.
- Gradually stir in the flour using a wooden spoon over low heat, continuing to stir until a firm dough forms and pulls away from the bottom of the pan.
- Once the dough has cooled slightly, shape the croquettes into small logs or balls according to your preference.
- Fry the croquettes in hot oil until they reach a golden brown and crispy texture.
- Drain on paper towels before serving.
