These Cheesy Chicken Patties are a smart and delicious way to transform leftover or rotisserie chicken into a golden, crispy favorite. Made with sharp cheddar and a simple egg-and-flour batter, each fritter fries up crunchy on the outside and tender, cheesy, and flavorful on the inside. Serve them as a quick weeknight dinner, a fun appetizer, or a crowd-pleasing party snack.
