Step‑By‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and mozzarella cheese, stirring until evenly coated.
  2. Using your hands, take portions of the chicken mixture and shape them into 3-inch long sticks. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Gather three shallow bowls, filling one with flour, the second with beaten eggs, and the third with seasoned panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Remove sticks from the freezer, coat each in flour, then dip into beaten eggs, and finally roll in panko breadcrumbs.
  5. In a large frying pan, pour cooking oil to cover the bottom and heat until it reaches about 350°F.
  6. Carefully add the breaded sticks in batches, frying for about 2-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  7. Transfer the fried sticks to a platter lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve hot with dipping sauces.
