Ingredients
2 cups shredded chicken
2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
8 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup buffalo sauce
1 tablespoon ranch dressing seasoning
3 eggs
1/2 cup flour
2 cups Panko bread crumbs
Canola oil for frying
Instructions
1-First, combine the shredded chicken, shredded pepper jack cheese, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing seasoning in a mixer. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
2-Shape the mixture into balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with freezer paper. Freeze for 30 minutes to help them firm up and hold their shape.
3-Set up three plates: one with 1/2 cup flour, one with 3 beaten eggs, and one with 2 cups Panko bread crumbs.
4-Heat enough canola oil in a pan on medium-high heat to fully submerge the balls.
5-Remove the balls from the freezer and coat each one sequentially in flour, then egg, and finally Panko bread crumbs for a crispy coating.
6-Fry 5 to 6 balls at a time for 2 to 3 minutes until they turn golden brown. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
7-Serve warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing for the best flavor.
