Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cut mozzarella cheese into bite-sized cubes and wrap each cheese cube with crumbled cooked bacon. Set aside.
  2. In a bowl, mix ground chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and half of the buffalo sauce until incorporated.
  3. Flatten a portion of the chicken mixture in your palm, place one bacon-wrapped mozzarella cube in the center, and form a tight ball around the cheese.
  4. Prepare coating by placing flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in separate bowls. Coat each chicken ball with flour, dip in eggs, and roll in breadcrumbs.
  5. Heat oil in a pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the chicken bombs in batches for 5–6 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Remove bombs from the oil, place on paper towels, toss in the remaining buffalo sauce, and garnish as desired.
