Yummmm.....

1 ½ lbs. cooked chicken, cubed
8 green chiles, peeled and sliced crosswise into ½“ strips

Wrap the green chiles around the cubes of chicken and secure them with toothpicks. Refrigerate.

Combine the oil and salt in a deep fryer or dutch oven and heat.

Meanwhile, combine the pancake mix and water and beat until smooth. Roll the chile/chicken bites in the batter, then drop them in the hot oil. Cook until brown.
