Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Mozzarella Sticks
Ingredients:
1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
1/2 cup buffalo sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Cooking spray
Directions:
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken and buffalo sauce until well coated. Add the mozzarella cheese and mix until evenly distributed.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the flour. In the second dish, pour the beaten egg. In the third dish, combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Take a small amount of the chicken and cheese mixture and form it into a stick shape. Dip each stick first into the flour, then into the beaten egg, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used.
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the mozzarella sticks in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they are not touching.
Cook in the air fryer for about 8-10 minutes, or until the sticks are golden brown and crispy. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Once cooked, remove the mozzarella sticks from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Pair with additional buffalo sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
