I haven't made these but I would suspect you are missing egg. Try adding

an egg or two, that should solve your problem.

Hi le;

I have the same problem with these. Yes, the recipe is just ground boiled

chicken, cooked veg and a couple garlic cloves (and any spices you like). I

find they hold together a little better if you toss in an egg.

Chicken tots anyone?--having trouble with recipe

I am trying to make chicken tots for my sons. They like them but I am

not getting them to hold together so it is like eating fried mush.

I don't have this recipe, but would love to get it from some one who doesn't

mind taking a minute to pass it on to me. But, I do make broiled patties and

meat balls for my son out of ground mixed veggies, any kind of gound meat,

sea salt, garlic clove, egg,

and a little almond flour, maybe the flour would bind it?

Hi Amber;

The recipe is on pecanbread. I'll just do a cut and paste:

CHICKEN TOTS

by Liz

1 cup of finely ground cooked chicken (better boiled than baked)

½ cup of ground cooked green beans (or another veggie/s)

2-3 ground or cut raw garlic cloves

olive oil (or another)

salt

spices (optional)

chicken liver (optional)

1. Combine the chicken, green beans, liver, and garlic in a bowl.

You can also just grind the chicken, green beans, liver, and the garlic together

in the food processor.

Add spices or seasoning if you like. It should come out moist and pasty like

tuna salad.

2. Roll into little meatballs and flatten like patties.

3. Add sufficient olive oil in a pan or they'll stick.

4. Fry the little patties on both sides until brown.

I tried baking them they came out bad!

They should look like tiny breaded burgers.

Sprinkle with salt.

Enjoy!
