nashville hot mozzarella sticks

Nashville Hot Mozzarella Sticks are my copycat version of the Chili’s classic. Crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and coated in a spicy Nashville hot butter sauce.

Crispy and Spicy Nashville Hot Mozzarella Sticks

cheese

all-purpose flour

eggs (whisked)

panko breadcrumbs

breadcrumbs

cayenne pepper

tsp smoked paprika

garlic powder

onion powder

Salt and pepper (to taste)

Avocado oil (for frying)

unsalted butter (melted)

cayenne pepper (adjust

brown sugar

½ tsp chili powder (optional)

hot sauce

Salt (to taste)

Slice 1 lb block of mozzarella cheese into thick, rectangular sticks (about 3 inches long and ½ inch thick).

Prepare 3 bowls: one with 1 cup flour, one with 3 whisked eggs, and one with 1 cup panko breadcrumbs mixed with 1 cup plain breadcrumbs, 1 tsp cayenne, 1 tsp smoked paprika, ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Coat each mozzarella stick in flour, then egg, and then breadcrumbs. Repeat egg and breadcrumbs for a double coating. Place breaded sticks on a tray.

Freeze breaded mozzarella sticks for 15-20 minutes.

Heat 2 inches of avocado oil to 375°F. Fry mozzarella sticks for 1-2 minutes until golden. Drain on a wire rack.

In a saucepan, melt ½ cup butter. Add 2 tbsp cayenne, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp smoked paprika, ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp chili powder (optional), 2-3 tbsp hot sauce, and salt. Whisk until smooth.

Dip fried mozzarella sticks into the hot glaze. Serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing.
