- Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the pot and let it cool.

- Preheat oven to 200 C and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with foil. Spray generously with cooking oil.
- Transfer the shredded chicken to a bowl, and add the mayonnaise, and Mix until all the ingredients are well combined.
- Roll this chicken mixture into balls (about 1 tablespoon each).
- Now for the breading of these chicken cheese balls: place the egg, bread crumbs and flour in separate shallow dishes. Add one tablespoon of water/milk to the egg and whisk lightly.
- Now start by rolling one chicken cheese ball in the flour, then dip it in the egg and then roll it in the breadcrumbs until fully coated. Continue these steps, until all chicken cheese balls have been breaded. approximately 35-38pops
- Place the chicken cheese balls on the baking tray, and bake 15-20 minutes or until the chicken cheese balls are golden brown and crispy.(here I have baked my cheese pops in my multi fryer.
