1

Combine chicken, garlic powder, white pepper, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped and it forms a uniform mixture.

4

Lightly coat partially frozen patties in flour mixture, shake off excess, and set aside.

5

Add club soda to remaining flour mixture and whisk to combine.

6

Dip patties into batter, allow excess to drip off, and fry carefully at 330-350°F (165-175°C) until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through (5-6 minutes per batch). Drain on a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
