Servings - 7 servings
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups sharp cheddar
- 1/2 cup freshly sliced scallions
- 5 eggs lightly beaten
- 3 cups Italian breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/2 cup mild hot sauce
- 5 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- vegetable oil for frying
- 1 cup blue cheese salad dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Heat skillet on medium.
- Place eggs, breadcrumbs and flour in separate bowls, like an assembly line.
- Mix cheese, scallions, pepper, garlic salt, hot sauce, and chicken in a large bowl.
- Make egg size balls out of the chicken mixture, yep, get your hands in there!
- Coat chicken balls in the flour, then dip in eggs, and then bread crumbs.

- Set on paper towels to absorb excess oil and then serve warm, dipped in blue cheese dressing.
