Directions

Step 1

Place 1/3 of the chicken pieces into the bowl of a food processor and pulse several times, cutting the chicken into smaller pieces. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Repeat twice more with remaining chicken pieces. Do not overprocess; some texture should remain.

Step 2

Add eggs, Hatch chiles, onion, almond flour, mayonnaise, garlic, chili powder, chipotle powder, salt, pepper, and cumin to the chicken. Stir until combined. Stir in wing sauce.
Step 3

Place a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Fill hot skillet with 1/4 inch avocado oil; heat until shimmering.
Step 4

Use a 1/4 cup measure to drop 6 mounds of chicken mixture into the hot oil. Gently press each one into a 3-inch fritter. Cook until chicken is no longer pink and tops are browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer fritters to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken mixture. Serve warm.
