Step‑by‑Step Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and mozzarella cheese. Stir until evenly coated.
Shape the chicken mixture into 3-inch long sticks and freeze for about 30 minutes.
Prepare your breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs.
Coat each stick in flour, then egg, then roll in panko breadcrumbs.
Heat cooking oil over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F.
Carefully fry the sticks for 2-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
