She made the croquetas too solid for my taste. Croquetas should be creamy as she says, but she sidn't make them creamy. Too much chicken for too little bechamel. Use more bechamel and you can use chicken drippings instead of oil for the bechamel, or even simmer the milk in a roasted chicken carcass. And that's how you make the best chicken croquetas IMO

Yo, she explains so many useful tips while she goes. What a great teaching and informational vid!

I like to freeze the bechamel in ice trays first. Then whenever I want croquetas I just pop out a few and bread them. They're way easier to bread like that, and you can just make a ton at once. Also if you do this you can make them as creamy as you want.

My Spanish family makes these a bit different. Their technique is way more labour intensive but I feel it really makes a difference for an amazing interior. We start by making almost like a dough, slowly adding more milk and flour, then we continue to mix and fold until it becomes super thick and creamy, then we add the meat at the end before putting it in the fridge.

Thank you for preaching the Way of the Croqueta for all the world to see!

So excited to make these today! I've been looking for days for a yummy looking recipe using shredded chicken and I think I finally found The One! Thanks Munchies!!

Mmm I love Ham Croquetas. My grandmother used to make them for us.

Just made your recipe for the second time. After they’re breaded, I lay them on parchment paper on a well covered well and freeze them. I added minced two tbls red bell pepper and add 1/2 tsp smoked paprika to the mix. Classic Spanish. I defrost one for supper and pan sauté. Excellent. Thank you. Joe.

Amazing! I love my moms chicken croquetas, she usually makes it for Christmas. I’m more keen on them than the turkey jaja. Also, using the croquetas as a measure of restaurant quality is a legit method. So cool that Jose Andres came over to help you! He seems like such a nice person

Lovely stories and a delicious recipe. Also, having the cred as a student to have Jose Andres fly out to help you open your restaurant is, in a word, amazing.

Happy to see you did some pretty authentic croquetas. Good work! My favourite ones are jamon, hard-boiled egg and onion, double coated and with extra soft bechamel and the salted cod ones (bacalao, they are typically smaller and in a ball shape). The softer the bechamel the more difficult they are to make but... the more delicious! Unfortunately with soft bechamel your ice-cream-scoop-trick won´t work tough... you need two spoons and it takes longer, but if you don't make them so often it´s absolutely worth it. BTW onion-haters-loosers-de-secano, tortilla de patatas sin cebolla is a crime to humanity, same goes for croquetas de pollo sin cebolla.

I like the 'GBD' thing :D. For me, when it comes to food, almost everything that is GB is also D.

You forgot to tell the key stage when making the béchamel which is to really cook it very slowly for a good 10 mn at super low heat and keep whisking during that time in order to remove any smell of flour . Then you get the perfect béchamel and from there as it is a base sauce you do absolutely any type of croquettes your imagination can produce !

This is exactly the way we do it at the tapas place I work

Delish 😍

I am going to open a small tapas bar🔥🔥

mmmmm now im hungry

Can the bechamel sauce be store bought or does it have from scratch?

Those are some proper croquetas

Looks tasty!

thx

On the recipe link it's listing 2/3 cups flour on the ingredients list but for the directions it's only saying to use 1/3 cups of flour for the bechamel. I ended up using 2/3 cups of flour for the bechemel because it was too wet only using 1/3 cup of flour. It's in the fridge right now. Is it going to come out lame?

What was that last thing after the egg wash?

another way to test your oil is using a basic $2 thermometer and check that the temperature is at around 120°-135° celsius.

As an Spaniard I 100% approve this.

People at home who are shallow or deep frying need to keep a cup of bamboo skewers beside the stove or near by if you don't have a cooking thermometer. Use it to test the oil like she did with the piece of croquette. Same way a Chinese chef uses their wooden chopsticks to test their oil's temp.

Spanish Croquetas .... look delicious .... I want them !!! 🤤

Nice and very similar to the French croquette but with different ingredients (maybe even influenced by it?). The Spanish croquetas I'm familiar with is made with ham (Iberian ham is the best) and fried in olive oil.
