For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the chicken mixture. If you don't have Hatch chiles, you can substitute with another mild green chile variety. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the fritters, as this can lower the oil temperature and result in soggy fritters. Serve these fritters with a side of creamy avocado ranch or a zesty lime crema for dipping.
