Ingredients
- 1 bag of Cheetos Crunchy Buffalo Flavored Snacks
- 4 beaten eggs
- 1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1 cup pepper jack cheese
- 8 ounce cream cheese
- 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce
- 1/2 cup chopped green onion
- Ranch for dipping (optional)
- Blue cheese for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, add 8 ounce cream cheese, 1 cup shredded chicken, 1 cup pepper jack cheese, 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce, and 1/2 cup green onions. Mix well until it forms somewhat of a homogeneous consistency. Using an ice cream scooper (or your hands) form small balls and set them aside.
- For the dredging stations, have a bowl of 4 beaten eggs. Crush an entire bag of Cheetos Crunch Buffalo Flavored Snacks into dust. Coat the chicken balls in the egg wash then drop in the Cheetos bag. Shake it up until they're fully coated.
- Fry at 350°F for 1 minute. Serve with ranch or blue cheese.
