Description

Buffalo Chicken Bacon Mozzarella Bombs are the ultimate game-day bite: juicy shredded chicken tossed in spicy buffalo sauce, wrapped in smoky turkey bacon, and stuffed with melty mozzarella. These bite-sized bombs bake until crispy on the outside and ooey-gooey inside, delivering bold flavor in every bite. Perfect for parties, gatherings, or a crowd-pleasing snack, they disappear fast and pair with ranch or blue cheese dip. Great for pass-and-serve gatherings, potlucks, and family game nights.

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups cooked shredded chicken
1/2 cup buffalo sauce
12 small cubes mozzarella cheese
12 slices turkey bacon
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
Optional: chopped parsley or ranch dip for serving

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Take a spoonful of chicken mixture and flatten slightly in your hand.
Place a cube of mozzarella in the center and wrap chicken around it to form a ball.
Wrap each ball with one slice of turkey bacon and secure with a toothpick if needed.
Place on baking sheet and sprinkle lightly with shredded mozzarella.
Bake 30–35 minutes until bacon is crispy and cheese is melted.
Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Make-ahead option: Assemble bombs and chill up to 2 hours before baking.
For extra crisp bacon, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.
Remove toothpicks before serving.
Serve with ranch or blue cheese dip for dipping.
