Instructions

Start by cleaning the chicken thoroughly and patting it dry with a paper towel. Remove any skin, bones, or excess fat to keep the mince lean and clean. Cut the chicken into smaller chunks so it fits easily into your mincer or food processor.
Set up your meat mincer or food processor and ensure it’s clean and ready to use. Add the chicken chunks into the mincer, feeding them through gradually for an even grind. Collect the minced chicken in a bowl and fluff it with a fork to loosen any clumps.

Notes

Chill Your Chicken: Keep the chicken chilled before mincing for the best texture. Cold meat grinds more cleanly and doesn’t stick to the mincer as much.
Keep It Uniform: Cut chicken into equal-sized chunks to ensure even mincing.
Customize the Texture: Run the chicken through the mincer twice for a finer mince. For a coarser texture, a single pass is enough.
Add Flavor Later: Don’t season the chicken before mincing; adjusting flavors during cooking is better. You can add one tablespoon of chili for a little kick or onion for a hint of sweetness.
