Maryland Chicken Cakes

Recipe Ingredients

2 lbs	908g / 32oz	Chicken legs
1 cup	146g / 5.1oz	Cracker crumbs - (the original recipe
		Saltines - I used whole
		Crackers)
1/3 cup	78ml	Reduced-fat mayonnaise
1/4 cup	59ml	Sliced scallions
2 tablespoons	30ml	Lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Salt - (I substituted garlic, salt)
1 tablespoon	15ml	Vegetable oil

Recipe Instructions

Poach chicken (should take 15-20 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink near the bone). Drain. When chicken is cool enough to handle, remove skin, pull meat off bones, and tear into fine shreds (should be around 3 C.)

Mix together chicken, 1/2 C. cracker crumbs, mayonnaise, scallions, lemon juice, and salt. Form into 8 patties (1/2" thick) and coat with remaining crumbs.

Heat half the oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook cakes 2-4 minutes per side, adding remainder of oil if necessary.
