Cold Curried Chicken Balls

My adaptation. The original recipe was a cheeseball. It was good, but I like this version better.





List of Ingredients



• 1 cup finely chopped cooked chicken
  
• 2 tablespoons chutney
  
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  
• 1 tablespoon curry powder (or more to taste)
  
• 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
  
• 1 small cream cheese, softened
  
• Dash salt
  
• 2-3 drops Tabasco or other hot sauce
  
• 1 small can French fried onion rings
  






Instructions



1. Mix first eight ingredients together (chicken through Tabasco). Chill. Shape into balls about 1 inch in diameter.
   
2. Crush onion rings in food processor. Roll balls in crumbs. Chill. Spear with toothpicks.
   






Final Comments


Ground peanuts make a good alternative for the onion ring crumbs which tend to be a bit oily. Add a piece of fruit--pineapple chunks, 1/2 strawberry, banana chunk, mango sliver, etc. to the toothpick. Serve additional chutney on the side, if desired.
