Squeeze all the liquid off the minced chicken and mix crushed garlic, celery, pepper, chili flakes and salt to taste. Then add a heaped tablespoon of all purpose flour to bind it all together, knead and let it set in the refrigerator for

cheese in the space and make a round tucking the cheese inside. Repeat the same with each chicken round.
Heat enough oil 4 deep frying, then pick each chicken ball, first dip in the beaten egg then roll in the bread crumb nd drop into the hot oil nd fry on medium heat till it turns golden brown.
To plate up, squeeze the julienned salad nd spread at the base of ur serving dish nd place the herbed chicken cheese balls above it and serve hot with tomato ketchup. Get lost in deliciousness as the oozing cheese melts in your mouth.
