There are so many ways that you can cook chicken. This dish was a classic dish prepared by the ole' Cajun farmers wives when the workers and her husband came out of the fields.
Mix the 1/4 cup flour and 3/4 t salt in a medium saucepan. Gradually add 1 c milk. Add the butter and cook over moderate heat (keep stirring) until thick.
Then add the 2 cups diced chicken and 1/8 t celery salt. Cool.
In a separate bowl, beat one egg and add 2 tbls milk.
Shape the chicken mixture into croquettes; roll in crumbs; then in the beating egg mixture and again in the crumbs. Chill in refrigerator.
Heat the fat in a deep pan to 375 degrees (hot enough to brown a one inch cube of bread in 40 sec. Use enough oil to fill the pan then place the croquettes in a wire basket until golden brown.
