Crispy Buffalo Chicken Mozzarella Sticks

Step 1

Line a 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper or foil.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, chicken, hot sauce, shredded cheeses, and ranch mix. Once well combined, evenly spread in the prepared baking sheet. Freeze for 1.5 to 2 hours or until solid.

Step 3

Create a breading station. Using foil, pour flour on the left side, place a bowl with the eggs at the top-middle, and place the breadcrumbs on the right.

Step 4

Once solid, quickly remove the mixture from the baking dish and cut vertically into 8 strips. Then cut the strips horizontally. This should give you 16 sticks.

Step 5

Moving quickly, coat the sticks in flour, egg, breadcrumbs, then egg and breadcrumbs again for a thick double coating. Transfer to a plate.

Step 6

In a dutch oven or cast iron skillet, heat oil to Test the oil by throwing flour in it. If it bubbles, it is hot enough to fry. Working in batches, put 4 sticks in the oil and fry until brown, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Step 7

Serve immediately with your favorite sauce! Enjoy!
