Flamin’ Hot Cheetos Chicken Mozzarella Sticks Recipe

Posted by: Jessica Pinney / Appetizers & Snacks, Fried

Jump To RecipePrint Recipe

Several months ago, I posed the question “What if chicken fries and mozzarella sticks had a baby?”, and my Mozzarella Stick Chicken Fries were born. The cheese stick chicken fry combination is truly greater than the sum of its parts.

Mozzarella cheese sticks wrapped in ground chicken, breaded in Flamin' Hot Cheetos, then deep fried.

Yesterday, Burger King released a special version of their chicken fries that are covered in Cheetos. Oh my goodness! They’ve once again inspired me to take it to the next level. I immediately got to work on these Flamin’ Hot Cheetos Chicken Mozzarella Sticks.

Mozzarella cheese sticks wrapped in ground chicken, breaded in Flamin' Hot Cheetos, then deep fried.

The Cheetos gives the crust such an interesting flavor, and an extra crunch that has a really amazing light & crisp texture. The Flamin’ Hot Cheetos flavor does seem to diminish in the fryer, but if you use my chicken seasoning combo you will not be disappointed! I went through several batches to perfect it.
