Add all purpose flour to the skillet and stir to form a roux.

Gradually whisk in chicken's water, stirring until thickened.

Mix in shredded chicken, parsley, green onion, tomato sauce, sriracha, salt, and chicken's water.

Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely.

Shape the cooled mixture into small balls or patties.

Dip each croquette in beaten egg, then coat with bread crumbs.

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Fry croquettes in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
