Of the 15 to 20 items I set out when hosting holiday parties, these savory puffs are the first to get snapped up. People enjoy the zippy flavor. They're a nice finger food to eat since they're not sticky or drippy.

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups finely chopped cooked chicken
  • 1/3 cup chopped almonds, toasted
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 eggs

Directions

  1. Combine the chicken and almonds; set aside. In a saucepan, combine the next seven ingredients; bring to a boil. Add flour all at once; stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes.
  2. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Beat until smooth. Stir in chicken and almonds.
  3. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 450° for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
