I thought this was a total waste of good ingredients. I really wanted to like these, but they just didn't work the way the recipe was intended and tasted really strange. I mixed up all the ingredients in the first step--the ONLY thing I did differently was to use half the amount of cloves. I wish I had left them out completely because the flavor of cloves and fresh basil was overpowering. Second, the mixture was so wet and sticky there was no way to roll them into balls and then in cracker crumbs. I ended up mixing the crumbs into the chicken so it would hold together and then scooping them into "balls". Even then they were still way too soft to fry in oil, so I baked them like another reviewer had done. Once baked they had a nice texture and got crunchy on the outside, but they tasted awful! My husband was really hungry and managed to eat several by dipping them in mustard, but he said they still tasted too much like cloves.

Perhaps I did something wrong in the boiling step, but the direction really need to be more precise. Mine did not set up completely so I spooned the soft gooey mess back into the pot and heated it on low heat just enough to re-melt. Then I added about half a box of Rice Krispies and spread it back in the dish. It harded into rice Krispie treats just fine, but was sickeningly sweet. I think even if it had hardened into fudge I would not be able to eat it, it's so sweet.

This was wonderful tasting! I don't even like egg dishes very much, but this was great. I did one thing differently: I used fresh chile peppers and added the peppers and onions to the skillet with the meat to cook them a little before going in the oven.
