# How to Make It:
01 - Cut mozzarella cheese into bite-sized cubes. Wrap each cube with a portion of crumbled bacon and set aside on a clean plate.
02 - In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken with 2 fl oz buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly blended with no dry streaks remaining.
03 - Take a heaping tablespoon of chicken mixture and flatten it in your palm. Place a bacon-wrapped mozzarella cube in the center, then encase it completely with chicken, forming a sealed ball. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
04 - Dredge each chicken ball in flour, shake off excess, dip into beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
05 - For frying: Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F. Fry bombs in batches for 5-6 minutes, turning as needed, until golden brown and cooked through. For baking: Place bombs on a greased baking sheet and bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 18-20 minutes until crisp and cooked through.
06 - While hot, drizzle or toss the bombs with the remaining 2 fl oz buffalo sauce. Garnish with extra bacon crumbles if desired. Serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese dip.
