Step 2: Prepare the Filling
- If making a savory version, mix shredded cheese and diced chicken (or your preferred filling) in a bowl.
- If making a sweet version, freeze small dollops of caramel or chocolate to prevent them from melting too quickly while cooking.
- Shape the filling into small balls or cubes, depending on the final shape you want.
Step 3: Assemble and Coat
- Take a small portion of dough or batter and wrap it around the filling, sealing the edges tightly.
- If using batter, dip each piece into the mixture, ensuring even coating.
- For an extra crispy texture, roll the coated pieces in seasoned breadcrumbs.
Step 4: Cooking Method
Frying Method (For Ultimate Crunch!):
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place each coated piece in the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on a paper towel.
Baking Method (For a Healthier Version!):
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the assembled bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Lightly spray with cooking oil and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
- If making a savory version, serve with dipping sauces like ranch, honey mustard, or spicy mayo.
- If making a sweet version, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with extra caramel.
