Equipment

  • Deep Pan or Oven

Ingredients
  

For the Filling

  • 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

For Seasoning

  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper

For Coating

  • 1 cup Plain Flour
  • 2 large Eggs Beaten
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs Panko or Regular for extra crunch

For Frying

  • 2 cups Vegetable Oil or Canola Oil For frying

Instructions
 

  • Prepare mozzarella by cutting it into small cubes, approximately one inch each, and set aside.
  • Crumble the cooked bacon into smaller bits and wrap a piece of bacon around each mozzarella cube completely.
  • In a bowl, mix ground chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and half of the buffalo sauce until well combined.
  • Flatten a handful of chicken mixture in your palm, place the bacon-wrapped mozzarella in the center, and encase it with the chicken into a ball shape.
  • Roll each bomb in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs.
  • Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) for frying or preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cook for 5-6 minutes in oil or 18-20 minutes in the oven until crispy.
  • Drizzle remaining buffalo sauce over cooked bombs, serve hot.

Notes

Refrigerate assembled bombs before cooking for better shape and crispiness. Use panko for extra crunch when coating.
