12 servings

  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 (4 ounce) can Hatch green chiles, drained
  • 0.5 cup chopped onion
  • 0.5 cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons Buffalo wing sauce, or to taste
  • 0.25 cup avocado oil, or as needed

Instructions

  • Place 1/3 of the chicken pieces into the bowl of a food processor and pulse several times, cutting the chicken into smaller pieces. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Repeat twice more with remaining chicken pieces. Do not overprocess; some texture should remain.
  • Add eggs, Hatch chiles, onion, almond flour, mayonnaise, garlic, chili powder, chipotle powder, salt, pepper, and cumin to the chicken. Stir until combined. Stir in wing sauce.
  • Place a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Fill hot skillet with 1/4 inch avocado oil; heat until shimmering.
  • Use a 1/4 cup measure to drop 6 mounds of chicken mixture into the hot oil. Gently press each one into a 3-inch fritter. Cook until chicken is no longer pink and tops are browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer fritters to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken mixture. Serve warm.
