Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz Mozzarella Cheese, cut into cubes
- 6 slices Cooked Bacon, crumbled
- 1 lb Ground Chicken
- 1/2 cup Buffalo Sauce
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 cup Plain Flour
- 2 large Eggs, beaten
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 cups Vegetable Oil or Canola Oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and crumbled bacon. Mix until well combined.
- Incorporate the Cheese: Gently fold in the mozzarella cubes, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Shape the Bombs: Take a handful of the chicken mixture and form it into a ball, making sure the mozzarella is encased well.
- Coat the Bombs: Dredge each ball in flour, dip in the beaten eggs, then roll in breadcrumbs until fully coated.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).
- Fry: Carefully add the bombs to the hot oil in batches, frying until they are golden brown and float to the surface (about 4-5 minutes per batch).
- Drain and Serve: Use a slotted spoon to remove the bombs from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Notes
Consider serving with dipping sauces like ranch or blue cheese for enhanced flavor.
