Crunchy on the outside, molten cheesy center, and a tangy buffalo kick make these Buffalo Chicken Bacon Mozzarella Bombs the perfect game-day finger food.

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, combine ground chicken, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and crumbled bacon. Mix until evenly combined.
  2. Cut mozzarella into bite-sized cubes and pat them dry with paper towels.
  3. Flatten ~2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in your palm, place a mozzarella cube in the center, and wrap the meat around it. Seal fully and repeat until all filling is used.
  4. Set up a breading station with flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs in a third.
  5. Roll each bomb in flour, dip into beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs. Double-dip for a thicker crust.
  6. Heat oil in a skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Fry bombs in batches for about 3–4 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
  8. Drain on paper towels and let cool for 2–3 minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs; for gluten-free, swap for GF alternatives. To increase heat, add more buffalo sauce or a pinch of cayenne.
