I am an amateur gourmet chef. I cook a lot and all my friends always use the description "he's a great cook" when they introduce me to new friends. Well, I LOVE good food. I searched and searched for a recipe for these. I landed on yours, and YOU WON! Making them tonight! I may not have the cream of chicken soup, but I'll make some chicken flavored béchamel to use instead. Winner winner chicken dinner!
Ultra nostalgia...last time I ate these was in the 5th grade cafeteria! I recall the sauce was more like bland bechamel. Thank you...BTW the ingredient list says 1 cup milk for the sauce, but in the video you use ¼ cup.
The dining car in northeast philadelphia is famous for its chicken croquettes. They were featured on Guy Fieri's Diners, drive-ins and dives! Delicious!!
Most of the chicken croquette recipes I’ve seen, to many steps and ingredients, so I am so very happy I came across your video on how to make them, and so easy, and inexpensive!!! You Rock!!
Excellent presentation. Used to have Weaver frozen chicken croquettes (No longer available). That was back in the 60's and 70's. Can''t find chicken croquettes in diners or any other eating establishments. Will be trying this recipe very soon.
Patricia Zernone-Wood while I have never tried, I cannot imagine it would not be just as good with ground chicken. In fact while cooking the ground chicken you can likely infuse even more flavor into it during the frying. In fact, I thank you as I will take your question and use it as a suggestion and try it myself as well.
@@waywardgourmandscooking6090 i had a plan to create these Sunday night and didn't think about the type of chicken. I bought 3 lbs of ground chicken so I'm crossing my fingers. I'll let you know how it works out!! Have a great independence weekend!
@@waywardgourmandscooking6090 so I completely forgot to update you. I did make it work the grounds chicken and it turned out amazing. It didn't have the chicken shred spartan after you break it but the forming, frying, baking and taste was perfect. I froze them for 5 more dinners over the past few months. Thanks for the guidance on this great classic.
Thank you !!!! I have been looking fir this recipe literally forever. There was a restaurant in new Smyrna beach Florida that served them daily as a lunch special back in 1971. For 1.79 you would get 3 croquettes with gravy , 2 sides of veggies your choice and a dinner roll , large glass of ice tea and pudding for desert . Thanks partner , I’m planning batch of them this weekend . 👍👍👍👍👍
OMG!! Thank you for posting this video!! I saw a few videos to make these and I was like “Nope”!! Yours is exactly what I have been looking for!! My Husband and I both grew up on chicken croquettes, we both love them, and you CAN’T find them in the grocery store anymore, trust me I went on a hunt, or Very rarely at the Diner!! THANK YOU!!! 👍👍🤘🤘❤️❤️
Judith Jones, the late great food editor who gave Julia Child her first big break, has a section in her autobiography about how croquettes were very popular in the early/mid 20th century but have gone out of fashion because people became anti fried food as the years went on. She provides a simple recipe in her book using a thick white sauce, herbs, and meat of your choice. I made a grilled chicken yesterday and I am sick of eating it....so now I have some of these babies in the fridge ready to form and fry! Thanks for showing the cone shape...I was just going to form it like a salmon patty....but now I know better!
Oh my goodness ... my favorite food and I haven't had it since the early 80's, I'm definitely going to make these but will probably have to bake them since fried foods really send my heartburn off the charts. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Omg! We loved them as kids. Our house was always full of family….always, and my cousin’s and I were just talking about those chicken croquets. I’m going to make these and send them to my cousins. 😂
Thank you for this delicious recipe! I made these and they were just like the ones I used to get at diners and I believe we also got them at HoJo's. I also served the Weavers croquettes with those little cups of gravy to my family. I missed those so much that I actually wrote to Weavers and asked them to please bring them back because there are so many people that love them and would buy them again-but no luck. But these are fantastic and very easy!
These were great... thanks for the recipe! I used to love these as a kid. One thing about the gravy. I made it based on your ingredients in the description (1 cup of milk), not by what you said in the video (1/4 cup of milk). I assume the 1/4 cup is correct, but it was still decent with a cup.
OMG! I Was So Happy & Excited to See This! I Use to Love these when I was a kid! I can not Wait to try! If you like taking any suggestions What about homemade“Cream Chip Beef”
💖 you have no idea (or maybe you do!) how much I miss eating these drenched in gravy. My mom always had them and you're right,..can't find them anywhere, really. Thanks for this recipe!!
Well I wish you would have showed us what it look like inside it's even better when you take a bite or two of it but I would have like to seen the inside of it for sure
Dude! I was just telling my Aunt about these that my grandparents would take us to the diner up north and I always got these even as a kid .Now I live in the south but I sure miss them and I’m glad I came across your UA-cam channel because I’d like to give them a try.
Just wanted to say it again so everyone knows I’ve been coming back to this recipe over and over for a few years since I found it and it’s so easy and so delicious can’t beat how easy but delicious thank you again
Childhood favorite, we had a restaurant in Boston in the 60's and a wonderful cook. I use to come in on Saturday's after shopping with my mother, our beloved chef would ask what do you want for lunch. It was always the same, delicious chicken croquettes. How I miss those days... I've got a rotisserie in the fridge and know what I'm going to do with those leftovers. So glad I found this channel )))
Something came up in another video I was watching that reminded me of croquettes. At 54 years old, we had these all the time and ordered them at diners. You were the first video that had the cone shape, the only way to make them, so I subscribed. I love this guilty pleasure and I'm sure my family will too. On a similar note, about nostalgic food; I had to come up with a menu for 300 people for a weekly dinner at my church. I chose chopped steak, mashed, green beans, with salad and a peach cobbler for desert. Pastor said the chopped steak would be a flop because it a a fake steak from the depression years. Most people said it reminded them of their parents and there wasn't a patty left after the seconds and thirds were taken. Love these forgotten recipes! Thanks
Bill Collier I would have gone back for seconds and thirds as well! Chopped steak was something we ate when I was a kid as well! My father was a mason and I was the youngest of 7. I think your choice was a brilliant choice. Your feedback is exactly why I enjoy doing this! I love hearing about people’s love of food and how it was in their life and how passionate they are about it! My mother unloaded on me when she saw my meatball video because I used bread crumbs in them instead of bread. She was 100% right on calling me out. She gave me my love of food and cooking. Thank you for sharing your story and welcome to the channel!
Thank you for bringing back this delicious recipe!! I made it yesterday, to my husband's delight! One question: I froze the rest of the croquettes, but need to know if I have to defrost them, or just fry frozen. Do you/anyone knows? Thanks again:)
So glad I found this! When we emigrated to the U.S from England this became one of my favorite meals. The cone shape brought back good memories. It’ll be my go to the next time we buy a Costco chicken (it’s an excuse to shop for one this weekend. I can easily see this as a Saturday menu.) Recipe saved! Cheers 🥂
This is super! Thumbs up! I'd just update the recipe to use 2 cans of condensed cream of chicken soup or anyone can use their favorite chicken gravy recipe. Can't wait to make this! Thanks so much!
When you say seasoned stuffing mix is that the stove top stuffing or a bag of stuffing mix that you use to make stuffing with that isn’t the kit like stove top?
That’s the Stove Top stuffing although the bag could work, would just need to check the weights as I think the bags may have more in them. I think the box is 6 ounces and the bag is twice that or near to twice.
my boss always fed us after closing time and this was always worth staying late for!! thank you for sharing - i am on a mission to make some tomorrow :)
Oh this is so close to my recipe except I use chopped turkey! I also saute minced onion, celery and carrot and add all of your ingredients, it was always a sneaky way to get the kids to eat more veggies. When mixing the gravy I would have to use 2 cans of cream of chicken soup and add evaporated milk to the desired gravy thickness. OH so GOOD over a bed of mashed potatoes. I have just froze 4 of the cone shaped wonders to take to my mother-in-law since her apartment complex is on lock down for health reasons today! She just loves them and she can eat one at a time with a few left in the freezer! Wonderful video.I am a new subscriber to your channel! Just keep cooking.
Not bad. I like the gravy idea. Just looking around to see other people's receipes. Planning to make some based on Porto's Potato Balls where they have a ground beef mix center. But I'm going to substitute with chicken.
I've been looking for a recipe for these, and this is a really simple one, but it gets the job done! I can't wait to see what else I find on your channel!
I think they would work very well in an air fryer! Because of the convection it will likely take less time than in the oven as well. You would only be limited by the size of the air fryer as far as how many you can do at once. Thank you for your feedback and idea of the air fryer as an alternative cooking method. I will definitely try this on my next round of croquette making!
@@waywardgourmandscooking6090 Thank you for that and count me subscribed! Also... I love Swedish meatballs. Do you have a recipe for them? You seem like an adventurous chef who can assist us with navigating through deceptively simple cuisine.
I used to love Howard Johnson’s chicken Croquettes.

In Southeastern Pa, they're pretty much at all diners.

Chicken croquettes are my favorite always thanks
This is my favorite thing! Have t had these in decades!
If you want them like in a fancy restaurant. Try Alfredo Sause.
Easy breezy thanks
Thanks so much I come back to this often and so easy and kids love it
Amazing thanks for trip down memory lane 👍

I was just telling my son's about this 😉 will you see them at school all the time in the 80s and 90s Weaver's chicken croquettes.
That’s the fist time I had them!!! They were excellent!!!! I miss them!!! I hope I can make them like weaver’s
Can you cook these in the air fryer instead of a pan of oil?
Can replace shredded chicken with ground chicken?

Town and Country diner in Bordentown New Jersey back in the 60s and 70s. Thanks for the memories and the recipe!
Used to love these at Howard Johnsons back in the 60's....gotta try these...Thanks...gotta have the gravy .
I was a waitress at a diner..we absolutely couldn't keep chicken croquettes in the store! they'd sell out within hours!!

His recipe makes approximately 9 croquettes. I just formed them and about to roll in the panko. Will give more review soon
Written recipe?

I used to be Weaver Chicken Croquettes every week, then Tyson bought out Weaver and they discontinued the Croquettes. I was so very disappointed.
I would have liked to have seen you eat them. That's the best part of the video!
