Ingredients
Scale
- For the Filling:
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- For the Coating:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, crumbled bacon, and mozzarella cheese until well mixed.
- Using your hands, take a small amount of the filling and form it into a ball, about the size of a golf ball.
- Set up a breading station with three bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Dredge each ball in flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
- Place the coated balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- These bombs can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
