Ingredients
- 1 pound mozzarella sticks
- 8 slices of bacon
- 1/4 cup Nashville hot chicken seasoning
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wrap each mozzarella stick with a slice of bacon tightly, securing the ends with toothpicks if necessary.
- In a shallow dish, mix the flour with some Nashville hot seasoning to enhance the flavor.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs with a splash of water until well combined.
- Dredge the bacon-wrapped mozzarella sticks in the seasoned flour, then dip in egg, and coat with breadcrumbs.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully lower the coated mozzarella sticks into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid crowding.
- Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3–4 minutes, then remove and drain on paper towels.
- Once drained, toss the mozzarella sticks in remaining Nashville hot seasoning for an extra kick.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
