Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz Fresh Mozzarella Cheese
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
- 2 tsp Nashville Hot Chicken Seasoning
- 2 cups Vegetable Oil
- Hot Sauce (for drizzling)

Instructions
- Slice the cheese into thick sticks about an inch wide.
- Prepare your coating station with three shallow bowls: one for seasoned flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for panko breadcrumbs mixed with Nashville hot seasoning.
- Coat each mozzarella stick first in flour, then dip into the eggs, and finally roll in the panko mixture.
- Freeze the coated sticks on a parchment-lined baking sheet for about 30 minutes.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the sticks in batches for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer to paper towels to absorb excess oil and drizzle with hot sauce before serving.
