Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet to prepare for baking the biscuit bombs.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Whisk the mixture together until evenly combined.
3
In another large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and pepper until well blended.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk the beaten eggs with about 2 tablespoons of water to create an egg wash.
5
In a Dutch oven, heat about 3 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) for frying the chicken.
6
Dredge each chicken tenderloins in the flour mixture, making sure they are coated well. Then dip them into the egg wash, followed by coating them with the panko mixture until fully covered.
7
Fry the coated chicken tenders in the hot oil for about 5-6 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Drain the fried chicken on a plate lined with paper towels and then cut each tender horizontally into thirds to fit inside the biscuits.
8
Flatten each biscuit round to about 1/4 inch thick. Place approximately 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of each round, then top with a piece of fried chicken. Fold the biscuit round over the filling and pinch the edges to seal tightly, ensuring they are well closed.
9
Arrange the biscuit bombs on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 17-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even cooking.
10
While the biscuit bombs are baking, prepare the garlic Parmesan butter mixture. In a small bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Whisk until well combined.
11
Once the biscuit bombs are finished baking, brush them generously with the garlic Parmesan butter while they are still warm for a delicious, flavorful finish. Serve immediately with plenty of marinara dipping sauce on the side.
