🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: aquafaba

oil for frying

🥗Healthier: air fryer

💰Cheaper: less expensive oil

Using an air fryer reduces calories and can save on oil costs.

Mix ground chicken, bread crumbs, egg, onion, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika in a large bowl until well combined.

Form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.

Dredge each ball in flour, shaking off excess.

Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Carefully add chicken balls to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding.

Fry until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking.

Remove chicken balls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
