Print Recipe

Cheesy buffalo chicken bites stuffed with cream cheese, coated in crispy panko breadcrumbs, and fried or baked to perfection. Perfect for game day or parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
  • 1/3 cup buffalo sauce (plus more for drizzling)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella (or cheddar)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 8 oz cream cheese (for the centers), cut into 16 small cubes (about 1/2-inch)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon bits (optional)
  • Oil for frying (or cooking spray for baking/air frying)
  • Optional garnish: chopped chives or parsley

Instructions

  1. Mix shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper in a bowl.
  2. Scoop 2 tablespoons of the mixture, flatten it, place a cream cheese cube in the center, and roll into a ball. Repeat to make 16 bombs.
  3. Set up breading stations: flour, beaten eggs, and panko mixed with bacon bits.
  4. Roll each bomb in flour, dip in egg, then coat with panko mixture.
  5. Fry in oil at 350°F for 2–3 minutes per side, bake at 425°F for 15–18 minutes, or air fry at 400°F for 10–12 minutes.
  6. Drizzle with extra buffalo sauce and garnish with chives or parsley. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken saves time.
  • Bacon bits add extra crunch.
  • Adjust buffalo sauce for more or less heat.
