Ingredients
  

For the Bombs
  • 1 lb Ground Chicken Can substitute with ground turkey or lean beef.
  • 8 oz Mozzarella Cheese Cut into cubes.
  • 6 slices Cooked Bacon Crumble before mixing.
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo Sauce Adjust based on spice preference.
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
For Coating and Frying
  • 1 cup Plain Flour
  • 2 large Eggs Beaten.
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs Panko or regular are fine.
  • 2 cups Vegetable Oil Or Canola Oil for frying.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine ground chicken, crumbled bacon, Buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until it’s well integrated.
  2. Grab a heaping tablespoon of the mixture and encase a cube of mozzarella in it. Shape the mixture into a tight ball.
  3. Set up a dredging station with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs. Coat each bomb in flour, then dip into the eggs, and roll in breadcrumbs.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat.
  2. Carefully place the bombs in the hot oil, frying them until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Notes

Serve these bombs hot and fresh out of the skillet, paired with ranch or blue cheese dressing for added flavor. They can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat for optimal crispy texture.
