Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the ground chicken breast with the salt, curry powder, cinnamon, ginger, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, zest of half a lemon, and breadcrumbs.
- Add vegetable oil to the mixture while shaping so that it does not stick to your hands.
- Mix the kashkaval and cheddar cheeses for the filling; mortadella, corn, or mushrooms may be added as desired.
- Shape the chicken mixture in your hands into small, thin balls, then fill each ball with some of the filling and seal it well so that no air remains inside.
- Place the shaped chicken balls in the freezer to firm up before coating and frying.
- For the coating, prepare a bowl with the flour, milk, panko breadcrumbs, and egg, along with a little salt and a little white pepper.
- Dip each chicken ball first in flour, then in the milk-and-egg mixture, then in the panko breadcrumbs.
- Arrange the coated balls on a plate, then return them to the freezer to firm up further before frying.
- In a bowl, mix the mustard, mayonnaise, ketchup, chili sauce, honey, and pickle brine to make the sauce.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over approximately medium heat, because oil that is too hot will burn the balls on the outside before the cheese melts inside.
- Fry the chicken balls in the oil until golden, cooked through, and the cheese has melted inside.
- Serve the chicken balls hot with the sauce.
