These croquettes are like chicken nuggets for grownups. They even have their own rich dipping sauce to make it a "happy meal".

  1. Catering Phool REVIEW:

    Made this for a ladies luncheon that I catered. Lots of rave reviews. If I make it again I'll probably have to streamline the process a bit. I was able to make the croquettes ahead of time (didn't coat them, just formed them) and they kept fairly well. I made the sauce right before serving but that could also be made ahead of time.
