- In a pan, sauté the shredded chicken with the onion, chopped olives, bouillon cube, Bahian seasoning, cumin, and salt. Add a splash of water if needed, cooking until the flavors meld and the liquid evaporates.
- Gradually stir in the wheat flour over low heat, using a wooden spoon to mix continuously until the dough thickens and pulls away from the bottom of the pan.
- Allow the dough to cool slightly before shaping it into small croquettes or bite-sized balls.
- Deep-fry the croquettes in hot oil until they are perfectly golden and crispy.
- Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil before serving warm.
