2 cups vegetable oil or canola oil
# How to Make It:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and the crumbled bacon. Mix until evenly incorporated.
02 -
Take a piece of mozzarella cheese and encase it in approximately 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture, forming a tight ball. Repeat with the remaining cheese and chicken mixture.
03 -
Place flour in a shallow dish, beaten eggs in a separate dish, and breadcrumbs in a third. Coat each chicken bomb first in flour, then dip into eggs, and finally roll in breadcrumbs to ensure an even coating.
04 -
Arrange the coated bombs on a tray and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to help them firm up before frying.
05 -
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F. Carefully add the bombs in small batches; fry for 3–4 minutes per batch or until golden brown and fully cooked. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
06 -
Serve hot with extra buffalo sauce on the side, garnished as desired.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Ensure the oil remains at the optimal temperature for crisp results and prevent excess oil absorption.
02 -
Chilling coated bombs prior to frying helps preserve their shape and avoids filling leaks.
