Kotleti are classic Ukranian Chicken Meatballs that are rich, juicy and delicious. This version is one of the best chicken thigh recipes with every bite packed with flavor.
Using a stand mixer attachment, grind the chicken thighs and dried cubed bread together.
To the same bowl, add 1 egg, 2 tsp garlic powder, 2 tsp of onion powder, 2 tsp of black ground pepper, 1.5 tsp of kosher salt and ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (use less if you do not like any spiciness).
Use the mixer's paddle attachment to mix everything on low speed.
With the mixer still running, slowly add in ⅔ cup of milk a little at a time, until fully incorporated.
Turn mixer to medium speed and continue whipping for about 1 minute.
Add 1-2 tablespoons of oil to a skillet, and heat over medium heat.
Dip the ice cream scoop into cold water, then scoop the meat mixture into the heated pan, placing the balls about 2-3 inches apart. Then flatten the balls with the back of a spatula until they are about 1/2" thick.
Cover the skillet with a lid and continue cooking until golden in color, then flip and cook the other side of the patty for about 5-6 minutes total.
