Notes
To achieve the best texture and flavor, here are some tips to keep in mind:
Make sure to fully cook the chicken and bacon before assembling the bombs. This will prevent any raw or undercooked ingredients.
Be generous with the filling, but leave enough room to properly seal the breadstick dough around it. Overstuffing can lead to leakage during baking.
Brush the tops of the bombs with a beaten egg before baking for a beautiful golden-brown finish.
Adjust the baking time as needed, keeping an eye on the bombs to ensure they don’t overbrown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F for fully cooked chicken.
Experiment with different fillings using similar ingredients, such as shredded BBQ chicken or buffalo chicken, for delicious flavor variations.
