Begin by shredding the leftover chicken into small pieces and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1/2 cup of milk until well combined. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the shredded chicken, 1 cup of sweet corn (fresh or frozen), 1/4 cup of chopped green onions, and 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika for a hint of smokiness.
Heat 1/4 cup of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon.
Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
For the spicy avocado cream, mash 1 ripe avocado in a bowl and mix in the juice of 1 lime, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper for a kick.
Serve the fritters warm, drizzled with the spicy avocado cream and garnished with additional chopped green onions if desired.
