How to Make Buffalo Chicken Bacon Mozzarella Bombs

Creating these bombs is simple. You will first mix all the filling ingredients, then wrap them in dough, and finally fry them until golden brown. Here’s how to do it step by step.

Ingredients:

8 oz Mozzarella Cheese (Cut into cubes)
6 slices Cooked Bacon (Crumble before use)
1 lb Ground Chicken (Substitute with ground turkey or lean beef if desired)
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
1 cup Plain Flour
2 large Eggs (Beaten)
1 cup Breadcrumbs (Panko or Regular for extra crunch)
2 cups Vegetable Oil or Canola Oil (For frying)

Directions:

In a bowl, mix together the ground chicken, crumbled bacon, Buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Take a small amount of the filling and place a cube of mozzarella in the center.
Wrap the filling around the cheese to form a ball. Make sure it is fully enclosed.
Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.
Roll each bomb in flour, then dip in the eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs.
Heat the oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
Carefully add the bombs to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
