  • 2 large eggs, beaten

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, and cheddar cheese in a large bowl until well mixed.
  2. Form the chicken mixture into 1-inch balls.
  3. Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Roll each ball in flour, dip into the egg, and coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat to 350°F.
  6. Fry the balls in batches for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, turning occasionally.
  7. Remove the balls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  8. Serve warm with a side of ranch dressing.

Notes

Ensure the chicken is fully cooked and cooled slightly before mixing to maintain the texture of the cream cheese.
