Nashville Hot Mozzarella Sticks

Print Recipe

Crispy, spicy, and gooey homemade Nashville Hot Mozzarella Sticks, inspired by Chili’s recipe.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb mozzarella sticks
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Freeze mozzarella sticks for at least 2 hours.
  2. Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, cayenne, paprika, and brown sugar.
  3. Dip each frozen mozzarella stick in flour, then egg, then breadcrumb mixture (double-dip for extra crunch).
  4. Heat oil in a deep fryer or pan to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Fry mozzarella sticks in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Remove from oil and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil.

Notes

Don’t crowd the pan while frying to maintain oil temperature. Experiment with dipping sauces like ranch, buffalo ranch, or honey mustard.
