Preparation method
- In a pan, sauté the shredded chicken with the onion, chopped olives, beef stock cube, Baiano seasoning, cumin, and salt, adding a splash of water if needed, until the flavors meld and the liquid evaporates.
- Gradually stir in the all-purpose flour using a wooden spoon over low heat, stirring continuously until a consistent dough forms and pulls away cleanly from the sides of the pan.
- Once the dough has cooled sufficiently to handle, shape portions into small logs or bite-sized balls according to your preference.
- Deep-fry the croquettes in hot oil until they achieve a deep golden brown color and a crispy exterior.
- Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil before serving warm.
