You can also make this recipe for roasted chicken croquettes if you have leftover meat from having prepared, for example, baked chicken with potatoes and onion. Finely chop the onion and sauté it in the pan with a little olive oil. Let it cook for 3 minutes. Once cooked,  shred the chicken, remove the bones and add it to the fried onion. We put a little salt and pepper, and let it cook for 3 minutes.

Add the flour, let it cook for 2 minutes, and add the milk little by little until the dough of the chicken croquettes thickens.

Add a little salt, pepper and ground nutmeg. Without stopping stirring the dough, let it cook until it does not stick to the pan (approximately 15 minutes).

Tip: If the dough is too liquid, you can add more flour and vice versa.

Once the dough for the roasted chicken croquettes is formed, let it cool down a bit, and  form the croquettes with the help of 2 spoons, or with your hands. Coat the roasted chicken croquettes with beaten egg and breadcrumbs, and fry them in plenty of hot oil until golden brown. Once fried, place them on kitchen paper to remove excess oil.
