Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and ranch dressing. Mix the ingredients together until they are well incorporated, creating a flavorful filling for your Deep-Fried Bacon Chicken Ranch Crater Bombs.

2. Scoop out the chicken mixture and gently form small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. This size will ensure the perfect bite-sized crater bombs.

3. Prepare a breading station with three separate bowls: one for the all-purpose flour, another for the beaten eggs, and a third for the breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

4. Carefully roll each chicken ball in the flour, dip it in the beaten eggs, and then coat it with the seasoned breadcrumbs, ensuring the entire surface is fully covered. This three-step breading process will create a delightfully crispy exterior for your Deep-Fried Bacon Chicken Ranch Crater Bombs.

5. In a deep pot or fryer, heat the oil to 350°F. Gently add the breaded chicken balls to the hot oil, frying them in batches until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

6. Remove the fried crater bombs from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve the Deep-Fried Bacon Chicken Ranch Crater Bombs hot, with additional ranch dressing for dipping.

Notes

These Deep-Fried Bacon Chicken Ranch Crater Bombs are the perfect appetizer or snack for any gathering. They pair beautifully with fresh vegetable sticks, crispy fries, or a simple garden salad. For beverages, consider pairing them with ice-cold beer, zesty lemonade, or refreshing iced tea.
