Cheezy Potato Chips Chicken Pops

What to do with so leftovers potato chips where nobody wanna eat? Which is y to me, choosing the flavours which majority likes to eat would be best. Now den i realized that no one in my family likes / eat cheese flavour chips. I bought a canister of lay's cheese flavour potato chips and it's been sitting on the table for almost 1 month since it's 'opening'. If dad and brothers like it, it wouldn't even last for a week. :-P

Creative ways of mixing tidbits with food or create new dishes sure works. Since we all love fried stuff, here's my cheezy potato chips chicken pops for dinner.

Ingredients;
Minced chicken  (boneless chicken thighs n chicken breast meat, ratio 3:1) 
Carrots, finely chopped
Onions, finely chopped
1 baby potato, diced n steamed
Crushed cheese flavour potato chipes
Shredded cheddar cheese
Oil for deep frying

Marinate;
Light soy sauce
Oyster sauce
Salt n pepper

Method;
- Marinade chicken well, mix in carrots, onions, potatoes n cheddar cheese.
-Wet hands with water, scoop 1 tbsp chicken mixture and shape into oval shape.
-Toss from 1 hand to another hand ~ to firm the texture of the mixture, pops won't split too easily when deep frying.
- Coat pops evenly with crushed chips and set aside. continue until mixture completes.
- Chill in fridge for at least 30 mins to harden.
- Deep fried on low to medium heat till golden brown.
- Drained on kitchen towel to remove excess oil.
- Serve hot. Enjoy!
