Step 1
Chop the bread slices into fine crumbs using a food processor. Then add the boneless chicken, coriander, ginger garlic paste, salt, chili powder, black pepper, cumin seeds, chili flakes, fresh chilies, and an egg. Blend everything together until well combined.
Step 2
Lightly grease your hands with oil to prevent sticking. Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into little donut rings.
Step 3
In a bowl, beat two eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Dip each chicken ring into the egg wash, then coat it thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
Step 4
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken rings until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 5
Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil, then serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Serving Options To Try
Serve these bites with a variety of dipping sauces like honey mustard, ranch, or spicy mayo. They go well with fresh veggies or a simple salad on the side for a balanced meal. Perfect for parties or casual gatherings.
Refrigeration Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to keep them crispy. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the coating soggy.
