Dukkah Chicken Bites

A deliciously tasty cocktail snack. With a good food processor, you can mix these up in seconds, recruit the kids to do the rolling and have them cooling in 15 minutes. Freeze them for emergency cocktail supplies or make them larger and use as burgers.

Ingredients
  

  • 600 gms chicken meat I used thigh as it is not as dry as breast meat
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 1/3 cup dukkah
  • 1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander
  • 1 clove garlic finely diced
  • 1/2 onion finely diced
  • 1/2 preserved lemon remove flesh & discard, rinse skin, pat dry and roughly chop
  • 1 good pinch of salt

Method
 

  1. Place chicken meat in processor and pulse 2-3 times or until finely minced.
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients and process until well combined.
  3. With wet hands (to prevent sticking) roll into balls about the size of a walnut.
  4. Shallow fry in hot oil until golden and cooked through. Alternatively, spray with olive oil, place on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake in a hot oven (180-200C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
