Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs or panko
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken, cream cheese, ranch or blue cheese dressing, buffalo sauce, and mozzarella until well combined.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
- Scoop and shape the chilled mixture into small balls using your hands.
- Set up a breading station: one bowl with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Roll each ball in flour, dip in egg, and coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
- Fry the bombs in batches until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Remove and drain on paper towels before serving.
Notes
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes as a healthier option.
- Adjust buffalo sauce amount to control spiciness.
- Try using cheddar or pepper jack for a flavor twist.
- Freeze uncooked bombs and fry or bake straight from frozen.
- Great with ranch, blue cheese dressing, or extra buffalo sauce.
