Nashville Hot Bacon Wrapped Mozzarella Sticks: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 12 mozzarella sticks
– 12 slices of bacon
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup breadcrumbs
– 1/2 cup Nashville hot chicken seasoning (or to taste)
– Vegetable oil for frying
– Optional: ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing for dipping


Instructions

Making Nashville Hot Bacon Wrapped Mozzarella Sticks is a fun and straightforward process. Follow these steps to create this incredible appetizer:

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and set them up in an assembly line for easy access.
2. Wrap the Cheese: Carefully wrap each mozzarella stick with a slice of bacon, making sure to cover it completely. Secure the ends with toothpicks if necessary.
3. Set Up Breading Station: In three separate bowls, set up your breading station: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Nashville hot chicken seasoning.
4. Coat the Sticks: Dredge each bacon-wrapped mozzarella stick in flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it in the egg mixture, followed by coating it with the seasoned breadcrumbs.
5. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. The oil should be hot enough that a breadcrumb sizzles when dropped in.
6. Fry the Sticks: Carefully add the coated mozzarella sticks to the hot oil. Fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding, cooking for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
7. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, remove the sticks from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
8. Serve Hot: The sticks are best served immediately while hot and gooey.
