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 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
- Prepare the filling by cooking the ground chicken in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink. Stir in the buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture cool until it feels warm.
- Crumble the cooked bacon and fold it into the chicken mixture. Adjust seasoning if desired.
- Cut the mozzarella into small cubes and keep them chilled.
- Prepare a workspace with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.
- Take a piece of dough, flatten it, and spoon the filling into the center. Place cheese on top.
- Wet the edges of the dough with water and seal tightly. Roll to smooth the bomb.
- Dredge the sealed dough in flour, then egg, and finally breadcrumbs.
- Heat the oil and fry the bombs until golden brown. Alternatively, bake at 400°F for 18-22 minutes, finishing under the broiler if desired.
- Serve warm with ranch and blue cheese dip.
