Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, bread crumbs, cheese, onion, garlic, black pepper, paprika, salt, chili flakes, egg, and chopped herbs. Mix until well combined.
Shape the mixture into donut shapes using your hands or a donut mold.
Place the shaped donuts on a tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.
Coat each chicken donut first in flour, then dip into the beaten egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Fry the donuts in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes per side.
Remove and drain on paper towels.
Serve hot with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

You can bake or air fry for a healthier version.
Add your favorite spices for extra flavor.
Make ahead and freeze before frying for quick snacks later.
