🔥 How to Make It (Step by Step)

1️⃣ Roast the Chicken:
Preheat oven to 200 °C. Rub chicken thighs with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Roast for 30–35 min until golden and cooked through. Let cool slightly, then shred the meat (discard skin & bones).

2️⃣ Cook the Potatoes:
Peel and boil potatoes until tender. Mash them with butter, egg yolk, salt, pepper, nutmeg (optional), and starch. Stir until smooth.

3️⃣ Mix the Filling:
Combine mashed potatoes with shredded chicken, herbs, Parmesan (optional), and sautéed onion or chicken roasting juices. Mix until you have a thick dough-like texture.

4️⃣ Shape the Croquettes:
With wet hands, form 20–24 small cylinders or balls.

5️⃣ Bread the Croquettes:
Coat each croquette in flour, then dip in beaten egg, and roll in breadcrumbs.

6️⃣ Fry Until Golden:
Heat oil to 170–180 °C. Fry croquettes in batches until golden brown (about 3–4 minutes). Drain on paper towels.

7️⃣ Serve & Enjoy:
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce – crispy on the outside, soft & flavorful inside!
