Fried chicken kadınbudu köfte is a Turkish köfte variation made with chicken and rice, shaped into patties and typically coated before frying. Recipes differ: some use ground chicken, while others use cooked, shredded chicken in the mixture.
Rice gives fried chicken kadınbudu köfte its characteristic tender texture and helps distinguish it from ordinary meatballs. It is usually cooked before being mixed in; draining it well helps keep the mixture firm enough to shape.

Kadınbudu is the established name of this Turkish köfte style, rather than a description of an ingredient in fried chicken kadınbudu köfte. The name is often translated literally as “woman’s thigh,” but the dish is generally known by its Turkish name.
Fried chicken kadınbudu köfte goes well with a crisp salad, yogurt or cacık, and rice pilaf. For a lighter meal, serve it with vegetables and a lemony salad to balance the fried coating.
Fried chicken kadınbudu köfte is a chicken-based take on kadınbudu köfte, a familiar dish in Turkish home cooking. The chicken variation does not have one clearly established regional origin; recipes vary from household to household.

Fried chicken kadınbudu köfte is a Turkish take on kadınbudu köfte, made with minced chicken, rice and seasonings. The mixture is shaped into patties, coated in egg and flour, then fried until golden. Traditional kadınbudu is usually made with beef, while chicken offers a milder variation.
The coating gives each patty a crisp outside, with a tender, substantial centre. Serve it warm with salad, yoghurt or rice; in Turkey it’s a familiar home-style main, and it also works well as part of a shared spread. It provides protein, though frying adds fat. For a lighter plate, use less oil and pair it with plenty of fresh vegetables.
