Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Bombs
  • 1 lb Ground Chicken Can substitute with ground turkey or lean beef
  • 6 slices Cooked Bacon Crumble before use
  • 8 oz Mozzarella Cheese Cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo Sauce Adjust for spice preference
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
For Dredging
  • 1 cup Plain Flour
  • 2 large Eggs Beaten
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs Choose Panko for extra crunch
  • 2 cups Vegetable Oil or Canola Oil For frying

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare your workstation by setting up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
  2. In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the ground chicken, crumbled bacon, Buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Take a small portion of the chicken mixture, flatten it in your hand, and place a cube of mozzarella in the center. Wrap the chicken around the cheese and roll it into a ball.
  4. Dredge the chicken bomb in flour, dip it in the egg, then coat it with breadcrumbs. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Cooking
  1. Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.
  2. Carefully place the bombs in the hot oil and fry until each side is golden brown and crispy.
  3. Transfer the cooked bombs to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for best texture. For freezing, wrap each bomb in plastic wrap and aluminum foil; they can be frozen for up to two months.
