This can be made with leftovers or the first half can be prepared the night before. I like to serve mine with my Cajun Gumbo'd Okra or even creamy homemade cheddar mashed potatoes.

How To Make carolina barbecue chicken croquettes

1
Place all ingredients (save panko) in a large lidded pot, top off with water until about 1in below the rim.

2
Boil until rice is completely cooked.
3
Scoop out chicken thighs, and shred chicken. Discard bones.
4
Add shredded chicken back in pot, allow to thicken.
5
Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
6
When cool, form into balls or patties (need to use more vegetable oil if balls), coat with panko.
7
In a medium high pan with enough oil to go half way for patties or submerge for balls, cook until amber brown. I cook about 4 at a time.
8
Place on towel to drain, optionally salt with seasoned salt.
9
Optionally serve with https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/soup/vegetable-soup/cajun-gumbod-okra.html The sweetness of the croquettes complements the spiciness of the okra. Enjoy!
