Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups of chopped rotisserie chicken about 1 store-bought rotisserie chicken
- ⅓ cup barbecue sauce
- 1 ¾ cups sharp cheddar
- ⅓ cup freshly sliced scallions
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs lightly beaten
- 2 cups Panko bread crumbs
- oil for frying, I prefer Canola or Vegetable oil
Instructions
- Have oil heated to 350 degrees F.
- Pick the meat from the chicken and discard the skin and roughly chop the chicken meat. Place the chicken in a large bowl and add barbecue sauce, cheese, scallions, salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Roll the chicken into 2-ounce balls, about the size of a golf ball. I used a cookie dough scooper to help me get the right size.
- Place the flour, eggs, and bread crumbs in 3 separate bowls. Roll each ball in the flour, then the egg and then the bread crumbs. Set aside.
- When the oil is hot fry the chicken balls in batches. Cook for about 1-2 minutes per batch. Remove the chicken to paper towel lined plate to drain the excess oil.
- Serve and enjoy! Great to have a dipping sauce like Ranch or Blue Cheese dressing. Easy to make a day or two in advance and reheat in the oven or microwave.
