Print Recipe

Crispy outside and soft inside, these Buffalo Chicken Bacon Mozzarella Bombs are a hot, cheesy snack perfect for game day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix ground chicken, crumbled bacon, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Take a small handful of the chicken mix, flatten it in your hand, place one mozzarella cube in the center, fold the chicken around the cheese, and roll into a ball. Repeat until all filling is used.
  3. Set up a dredging station with flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs in a third.
  4. Roll each ball in flour, dip in egg, then roll in breadcrumbs to ensure they are fully covered.
  5. Pour oil into a deep pan to a depth of about 1.5 inches and heat to medium-high (about 350°F / 175°C).
  6. Carefully place bombs in hot oil, frying in batches for 3–5 minutes per batch until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Use a slotted spoon to remove bombs and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  8. Let bombs cool for 1–2 minutes before serving with extra buffalo sauce or ranch.

Notes

Chill the chicken mix for better shape. Use cold cheese to prevent melting while forming the bombs.
