You can make this delicious croquetas with the leftovers of a roast chicken dinner, ideally using the leg and thigh. Flavour your oil and butter with some of the roasted chicken skins before you make your roux for an intense roast chicken flavour. I like to serve my croquetas de pollo with a spicy chutney or truffle mayonnaise and a chilled glass of cava.
