Instructions
Making Buffalo Chicken Mozzarella Sticks is simple and straightforward. Follow these steps to create your own batch:
1. Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken and buffalo sauce. Mix until the chicken is well-coated.
2. Add Cheese: Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, creating a thick mixture.
3. Prepare the Coating Stations: Set up three shallow bowls. Fill one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and the last with breadcrumbs.
4. Shape the Sticks: Take a tablespoon of the chicken and cheese mixture and shape it into a stick. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
5. Coat the Sticks: Roll each stick in flour, dip it in the beaten eggs, and then coat it with breadcrumbs. Make sure they are evenly coated for a crispy texture.
6. Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat oil over medium heat until hot.
7. Fry the Sticks: Carefully add the coated sticks to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
8. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, remove the sticks and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
9. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle with salt and freshly chopped parsley for an added touch.
With these steps, you’ll have a batch of Buffalo Chicken Mozzarella Sticks that are crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside!
