Bunuelitos de Pollo
(Chicken Fritters) Preparation:

Method:

Sift the flour into a bowl and add just enough water to create a batter that's about the consistency of single cream (about 80ml is usually right). Add the egg and baking powder and beat to combine.

Stir-in the chicken and season with salt and black pepper.

Add the oil to a wok to a depth of about 6mm and when the oil begins to smoke drop the batter mixture by the tablespoon into the oil. Fry the fritters until nicely browned on both sides, turning once (this will take about 12 minutes). Transfer to kitchen paper and allow to drain before serving.

Typically the fritters are eaten with a toothpick and are best served just warm. They can also be served with a chilli and tomato dipping sauce.
