I hate to admit it, but I love Burger King’s chicken fries. They are a serious fast food guilty pleasure of mine. I only indulge about once or twice per year, usually on a road trip. Each time that I do I feel equal parts satisfaction and regret.
One night, I started thinking, “What if a mozzarella stick and chicken fries made sweet, sweet love and had a baby?”
This is the kind of question that keeps me up at night. What if indeed…
I needed answers, so I set out to conduct my own experiment and answer my question.

The idea is pretty simple:
Take a mozzarella stick and roll it in flour….
Then dip it in egg…
Cover in perfectly seasoned ground chicken…
Coat with bread crumbs…
And drop ’em in the deep fryer!
The taste of these actually exceeded my expectations and I am giving them a top spot on my favorite appetizers list!
Update!: I made a version of these that are breaded in Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. Check out the video I made for it.
