For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika to the chicken mixture. Serve these croquettes with a dollop of aioli or a squeeze of lemon for added zest. These croquettes can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to fry. Make sure to bring them to room temperature before cooking for even browning.
