Steps

1. 1

   Add the chopped chicken breast, eggs, flour, cornstarch, baking soda, yogurt, mixed cheese, Parmesan cheese, green onion, minced garlic, parsley, salt, black pepper, red chili flakes, chicken bouillon powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to a large bowl.

2. 2

   Mix the chicken mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.

3. 3

   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, sour cream, hot sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, dried dill, and lemon juice until the dressing is smooth.

5. 5

   Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed.

6. 6

   Cover the dressing and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes so the flavors can meld.

7. 7

   Pour oil into a frying pan and heat it over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, reduce the heat to medium-low.

8. 8

   Use a spoon to portion the chilled chicken mixture into patties. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry 3–4 patties at a time.

9. 9

   Shallow-fry the patties for about 5–6 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.

10. 10

    Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve with the spicy ranch dressing.
