  • Next, add the flour and once again mix the batter. 
  • Place one piece of the cheese in the centre of the disc and cover it with the chicken batter. Shape the disc into a round ball. Set aside. Similarly, shape all the chicken balls. 
  • Keep the shaped cheese balls in the fridge while you heat oil. 
  • Heat oil in a deep-frying pan over medium-high flame. 
  • Arrange coating ingredients – corn flour, egg white and breadcrumbs near the gas stove.  Best Chicken Cheese BallsPin
  • Coat cheese ball first with corn flour, dip in egg white and then coat in breadcrumbs. Now deep-fry it in the pre-heated oil. Similarly, follow the coating steps for all the meatballs and deep fry. 
  • Deep-fry the chicken balls till they are golden and crisp from the outside. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Best Chicken Cheese BallsPin
  • Serve chicken cheese balls immediately with your favourite dip or sauce. 

Recipe Notes:

  • I have used a readymade package of ground chicken for this recipe. You can pulse two chicken breast in the food processor to make ground chicken for cheese balls. 
  • Before deep-frying makes sure the oil is heated to the right temperature. Else, chicken balls might not turn crisp. 
  • If you are not deep-frying the chicken balls immediately keep them in the fridge until required.
