Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 package wonton wrappers
- Oil for frying
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, crumbled bacon, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix the ingredients together until they are fully incorporated and the filling is well-blended.
2. Take a wonton wrapper and place a spoonful of the chicken-bacon-cheese mixture in the center. Fold the corners of the wonton wrapper over the filling to create a pouch, sealing the edges tightly to ensure there are no openings.
3. In a deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat about 2-3 inches of oil over medium heat. To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of wonton wrapper into the oil – it should sizzle immediately.
4. Carefully add the filled wonton wrappers to the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook the Crispy Chicken Bacon Loaded Cheese Stick Bombs for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
5. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried Crispy Chicken Bacon Loaded Cheese Stick Bombs from the oil, allowing any excess oil to drip off. Place them on a paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet to drain. Finally, garnish the hot and crispy bombs with chopped parsley and serve them with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Use freshly cooked and crumbled bacon for maximum flavor and crispiness.
Fully cook the ground chicken before assembling the bombs to prevent any raw meat.
Seal the wonton wrappers tightly to prevent leakage during frying.
Fry the bombs in batches to maintain the oil temperature and prevent overcrowding.
Experiment with different cheese varieties, such as cheddar or pepper jack, for a unique twist.
Consider baking the bombs instead of frying for a healthier option, adjusting the cooking time as needed.
