Name: Chicken Croquettes
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons butter; 1 1/4 cups flour; 1 cup warm milk; 1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme; 1 pinch nutmeg; 1 1/4 cups chopped cooked chicken, preferably dark meat; salt and pepper; 4 cups corn flakes, finely crushed (I use semolina flour); 3 large eggs; 2 cups vegetable oil

Servings: persons

2 tablespoons butter
1 1/4 cups flour
1 cup warm milk
1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 pinch nutmeg
1 1/4 cups chopped cooked chicken, preferably dark meat
salt and pepper
4 cups corn flakes, finely crushed (I use semolina flour)
3 large eggs
2 cups vegetable oil

1
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in 6 tablespoons flour and cook, whisking, for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk, lower the heat and continue to whisk until the sauce thickens and turns glossy, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the thyme and nutmeg, then add the chicken; season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
2
Pour the remaining flour and the cornflakes onto separate plates. In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs. Shape heaping tablespoons of the chilled meat mixture into 2-by-1-inch cylinders and place on a parchment-paper- lined baking sheet. Coat each one with flour, dip into the eggs, then coat with the cornflakes; transfer to the baking sheet.
3
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the croquettes and fry until golden-brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve hot.
