Ingredients

• 500 g Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs (minced in a food processor or finely chopped)
• 1 tsp Chili Powder
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black Pepper (freshly ground)
• 100 g Cheddar Cheese (cut into small squares to place inside the chicken)
• 2 Large Eggs (beaten)
• 1 cup Plain Breadcrumbs (for the first coating layer)
• 1 cup Cheetos Crunchy Cheese Snacks (crushed into fine crumbs)
• 2 cups Vegetable Oil (for deep frying, use a high smoke‑point oil)

Instructions

1. Mince the Chicken

   Place the chicken thighs in a food processor and pulse until finely minced, or chop very finely with a knife.

   Time: PT5M

2. Season the Meat

   Transfer the minced chicken to a mixing bowl, add chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the seasoning is evenly distributed.

   Time: PT2M

3. Stuff and Shape

   Cut the cheddar cheese into small squares. Place a cheese piece in the center of a portion of the seasoned chicken, then shape the mixture into a rectangle or triangle and add tiny “ears” with extra chicken to resemble Tom and Jerry.

4. Prepare Coating Stations

   Set up three shallow dishes: one with beaten eggs, one with plain breadcrumbs, and one with crushed Cheetos.

   Time: PT8M

   Temperature: 350°F

9. Drain and Rest
