Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Choose freshly ground chicken, sharp cheddar cheese, and creamy blue cheese.
- Don't overmix the chicken mixture. Overmixing will make the chicken tough.
- Chill the chicken mixture for at least 30 minutes before forming it into balls. This will help the balls hold their shape.
- Coat the chicken balls in flour before frying them. This will help them brown evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Fry the chicken balls in hot oil until they are golden brown and cooked through. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, or the chicken balls will not cook evenly.
- Serve the chicken balls immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
