Zero-Carb High-Protein Buffalo Chicken Mozzarella Sticks

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (400°F).

Place the mozzarella sticks on a plate and set aside.

In a bowl, combine the ground chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper; mix until just combined.

Lay the mozzarella sticks on a clean surface and gently press the seasoned ground chicken around each stick, forming an even coating.

Transfer the chicken‑coated sticks to a shallow dish, dip them into the whisked egg, ensuring full coverage.

Immediately roll the egg‑wet sticks in the grated Parmesan cheese, pressing lightly so the cheese adheres.

Arrange the coated sticks in a single layer in the air‑fryer basket, making sure they do not touch.

Air fry for 10–12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the exterior is golden and crisp.

While the sticks are cooking, warm the buffalo sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.

When the sticks are done, remove them from the air fryer and place them in a large bowl.

Toss the hot sticks with the warmed buffalo sauce until evenly coated.

Transfer the buffalo‑glazed sticks to a serving plate and let them rest for 1–2 minutes to allow the coating to set.

Serve immediately with additional buffalo sauce or a low‑carb ranch dip, if desired.
