Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Mozzarella: Cut the mozzarella cheese into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
  2. Wrap Cheese: Crumble the cooked bacon and wrap each mozzarella cube with a thin layer of bacon, ensuring no gaps.
  3. Mix Chicken Filling: Combine ground chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and half of the buffalo sauce in a bowl.
  4. Form Bombs: Flatten a portion of chicken mixture, place a bacon-wrapped mozzarella in the center, and seal it to form a ball.
  5. Coat Bombs: Roll each bomb in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs.
  6. Cook: Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry bombs for 5-6 minutes until golden brown or bake at 400°F (200°C) for 18-20 minutes.
  7. Finish & Serve: Remove bombs from oil, drain, drizzle remaining buffalo sauce, and serve hot.
