Ingredients
– 2 cups shredded chicken
– 2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
– 8 oz cream cheese
– 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
– 1 tablespoon ranch dressing seasoning
– 3 eggs
– 1/2 cup flour
– 2 cups Panko bread crumbs
– Canola oil for frying (amount needed to fully submerge the balls)
Instructions
1-Mix the shredded chicken, cheeses, buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing seasoning thoroughly in a bowl until well combined.
2-Shape the mixture into balls and place them on freezer paper on a baking sheet, then freeze for 30 minutes to help them firm up and avoid sticking.
3-Prepare three separate plates: one with 1/2 cup flour, one with 3 beaten eggs, and one with 2 cups Panko bread crumbs for the breading station.
4-Heat enough canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat to fully submerge the balls, ensuring you don’t crowd the pan for even frying.
5-Coat each ball sequentially in flour, then egg, and finally Panko bread crumbs before frying 5 to 6 at a time for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown.
6-Drain the fried balls on paper towels and serve immediately with your favorite dressing for the ultimate flavor experience.
