Serve these Cheesy Chicken Fritters with Spicy Lemon Aioli
To further elevate these fritters, serve them with a Spicy Lemon Aioli. This will add an extra layer of zing to each bite!
We love to pair aiolis with bite-sized appetizers like this one for an extra burst of flavor and an added taste-component! If you are unfamiliar, aiolis are just simple mixtures of mayonnaise, garlic, and any additional ingredients you think would pair well with your main dish. Aiolis are excellent as dips, sauces, or salad dressings!
Aside from adding more flavor, aoili has minimal carbohydrates and provides a dose of essential healthy fats!
