• 1/4 cup sliced scallions

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the chicken, hot sauce, pepper, cheese and scallions; toss to combine. Roll the chicken mixture into 2 ounce balls; about the size of a golf ball.

Place 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 balls in batches. Cook for about 2 minutes per batch. Remove and place in a paper towel to drain.
