  2. Take a portion of the chicken mixture and flatten it, placing a piece of mozzarella in the center. Wrap the chicken around the cheese to form a ball.

  4. Coat each chicken bomb in flour, then in beaten eggs, and lastly in breadcrumbs, ensuring a thorough coating.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat until shimmering (around 350°F/175°C).
  6. Fry each bomb for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally.
  7. Remove the bombs and drain on paper towels. Toss in buffalo sauce before serving if desired.
