- 1 tablespoon LAND O LAKES® Butter
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup chicken broth, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups finely chopped cooked chicken
- 2 egg yolks, beaten
- 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper paste
- 1 cup cracker crumbs
- Canola oil for frying
- Garlic Butter Sauce:
- 1/3 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 pinch fresh thyme
- 1 pinch fresh oregano
- 1 pinch fresh basil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Melt butter in a large heavy saucepan over low heat. Add onion and cook until tender. Stir in flour; cook and stir until smooth, about 1 minute. Reduce heat if mixture browns too quickly.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup of chicken broth and cook over medium heat stirring constantly until thickened and bubbly. Stir in dry mustard, salt, and chopped chicken; whisk in egg yolks.
- Cook over medium heat stirring constantly for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Refrigerate 3 to 4 hours or preferably overnight.
- Combine remaining 1/4 cup chicken broth and hot pepper paste; stir into chilled chicken mixture.
- Shape chicken mixture into patties (an ice cream scoop will give you consistent size patties). Dredge patties in cracker crumbs.
- Pour 1/2 inch oil into skillet. Heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, fry the croquettes until golden brown; do not turn the croquettes until they are well browned on the first side, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook the other side, 4 to 5 minutes. Fry in batches, as needed. Drain on paper towels.
- Melt 1/3 cup butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent it from burning. Stir in flour and whisk continuously for 1 minute.
- Pour in the milk and herbs and continue to cook, whisking constantly, until sauce begins to thicken, about 1 minute. Ladle sauce over croquettes on serving plates.
