About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 3 mozzarella sticks
- 6 oz ground chicken
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
Instructions
- 1Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (392°F).
- 2Place the mozzarella sticks on a plate and set aside.
- 3In a bowl, combine the ground chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper; mix until just combined.
- 4Lay the mozzarella sticks on a clean surface and gently press the seasoned ground chicken around each stick, forming an even coating.
- 5Transfer the chicken‑coated sticks to a shallow dish, dip them into the whisked egg, ensuring full coverage.
- 6Immediately roll the egg‑wet sticks in the grated Parmesan cheese, pressing lightly so the cheese adheres.
- 7Arrange the coated sticks in a single layer in the air‑fryer basket, making sure they do not touch.
- 8Air fry for 10–12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the exterior is golden and crisp.
- 9While the sticks are cooking, warm the buffalo sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
- 10When the sticks are done, remove them from the air fryer and place them in a large bowl.
- 11Toss the hot sticks with the warmed buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
- 12Transfer the buffalo‑glazed sticks to a serving plate and let them rest for 1–2 minutes to allow the coating to set.
- 13Serve immediately with additional buffalo sauce or a low‑carb ranch dip, if desired.
