1. First, let’s prepare the cheese and bacon. Cut the mozzarella cheese into even bite-sized cubes and wrap each one with a small amount of crumbled bacon. Set these aside on a plate, ready to be incorporated into the chicken mixture.

2. Now, in a large bowl, combine the ground chicken with the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and half a cup of buffalo sauce. Use your clean hands to mix everything together thoroughly until the chicken is well-seasoned and slightly sticky.

3. Time to assemble the bombs! Take a golf ball-sized portion of the chicken mixture and flatten it in your palm. Place one of the bacon-wrapped mozzarella cubes in the center, then enclose the filling completely by pinching the edges and sealing them tightly. Gently roll the chicken ball into a smooth, uniform shape. Repeat this process with the remaining chicken mixture and cheese cubes.

4. To coat the bombs, start by rolling each one in a light layer of flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip the floured bombs into the beaten eggs until they’re fully coated. Finally, roll them in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure an even coating. Place the finished bombs on a baking sheet, ready for cooking.

5. Now, you have a choice: you can either fry or bake these Buffalo Chicken Bacon Mozzarella Bombs. For frying, heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy skillet to 350°F. Gently lower the bombs into the hot oil and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per batch, turning as needed, until the coating is a deep golden brown and the chicken is fully cooked through. If you prefer to bake, simply arrange the bombs on a greased baking sheet and lightly spray the tops with oil. Bake them at 400°F for 18 to 20 minutes, flipping once halfway for even coloring.

6. Finally, toss the freshly fried or baked Buffalo Chicken Bacon Mozzarella Bombs with the remaining buffalo sauce, or drizzle it over the top for a milder flavor. Garnish with extra crumbled bacon bits and serve these irresistible treats warm, ready to be devoured by your eager guests.
