Seasonings

Mix ground chicken with buffalo sauce in a bowl until sticky. Chill for 15 minutes if too soft.
Flatten 2 tbsp of the mixture, add a mozzarella cube and crumbled bacon, then wrap and roll into a ball. Repeat.
Coat each ball in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then roll in seasoned breadcrumbs (garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper).
Fill a heavy pan with 2 inches of oil and heat to 350°F (175°C).
Fry in small batches for 5–7 minutes, turning until golden and cooked through (165°F/74°C inside).
Drain on paper towels and serve hot with buffalo sauce.
