For the Filling

  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Essential for flavor.
For Coating and Cooking
  • 1/2 cup Plain Flour Helps breadcrumbs adhere.
  • 2 Large Eggs Binds the breadcrumbs.

  • 2 cups Vegetable or Canola Oil Perfect for frying.

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare mozzarella by cutting fresh mozzarella into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
  2. Crumble the cooked bacon into small pieces. Wrap a mozzarella cube with the crumbled bacon without leaving gaps.
  3. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and half of the buffalo sauce. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Shape the bombs by taking a handful of the chicken mixture, flatten it, place a bacon-wrapped mozzarella cube in the center, and encase it tightly.
  5. Prepare a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs. Roll each bomb in flour, dip it in egg wash, and coat it in breadcrumbs.
  6. Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the bombs for 5-6 minutes until golden brown or bake at 400°F (200°C) for 18-20 minutes.
  7. Remove cooked bombs from oil and drain on paper towels. Drizzle the remaining buffalo sauce on top and serve warm.
