Holy Cow (or chicken in this case!)!!! That was amazing! I used veg oil cuz I didn’t have olive and I didn’t soak it for near that long, and I added onion and garlic powders, as well as salt, pepper, and parsley to the flour, but we REALLY liked this recipe! We deep fried chicken breast strips with it, as well as provolone sticks. I would really like to try onion next time too! I haven’t had much luck with crispy breading in the past, but this came out fantastic!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!

Mary- Panko are Japanese bread crumbs. You can find them in the Asian section of your local super market. Hope this helps!

Gianna- I am sorry to hear that you did not have luck with this recipe. Despite your problem, you can in fact fry mozzarella without it oozing and melting in hot oil. As with all of my recipes the picture above is the mozzarella just before we ate it and as you can see it worked. A few things could have caused the problem: 1. the oil wasn’t hot enough. 2. It is important not to overcrowd the pan or it will reduce the heat of the oil. 3. the mozzarella weren’t completely breaded allowing some of the oil to get into the cheese. I hope this helps!

I hope you enjoy it sara! While I think the kraft ball of mozzarella would work fine for this, I used fresh vacuum packed mozzarella. I would avoid the fresh mozzarella in water, it would be too wet for this. Hope this helps!

We’re talking deep-fried cheese here… how could it not be perfect?! I love that you’ve marinated it, to take this away from pub-food and into classy backyard-party appy :)
