Keto Golden Chicken Bacon Fritter Balls Recipe

Keto isn’t all salad and vegetables. You can make amazing recipes that everyone in your household will love like this keto golden chicken bacon fritter balls recipe.

How I Made Keto Fritters

If you’ve never made fritters before, rest assured, they are delicious! There are some modifications necessary to make this low carb and appropriate for your keto diet.

First off, the flour that normally coats fritters needs a makeover. Instead of carb-loaded white flour, I used almond flour.

This nut-based flour has a great taste that bakes up well without adding a ton of carbs and spiking your blood sugar.

Next, many recipes call for cheese. While cheese can be a perfectly keto option, I don’t recommend eating it.

Many people have sensitivities to cheese, so I left out the mozzarella that shows up in some varieties.

Other than those two swaps, the rest of the ingredients are pretty standard except for one – bacon.

The bacon in this recipe elevates these chicken balls to the next level. That salty, savory burst of flavor makes these fly off the plate.

How to Mince Chicken

Once we dive into the more expected ingredients in this recipe, you’ll notice you need minced chicken.

You might be wondering how you do that.

The easiest way to make this recipe is to buy ground chicken. The work is already done for you.

If you have a food processor (and it does come in handy for this recipe) you can use that to mince chicken.

Cut up a chicken breast into 2-inch cubes. Then, working in batches if necessary, place the cubes into your food processor and grind it down.

Boneless skinless breasts will be your best bet for mincing, but if you don’t mind a little extra work you can de-bone raw chicken yourself.
