In a small pot over low heat, add all ingredients listed under “Nashville Hot Sauce.” Continuously whisk until the butter melts and allow to simmer for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a bowl, add all ingredients listed under “Buttermilk Ranch Dressing” and mix until thoroughly combined. Set in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
In a bowl mix together all ingredients listed under “Breading” and set aside.
Whisk together egg and water to create a simple egg wash.
Take the prepared mozzarella cheese and coat in the egg wash mixture. Then into the seasoned breading.
Return to the egg wash and finally another dip into the breading. The double breading will insure an impeccable outter crust.
Place on a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a pan over medium high heat. You want to reach a temperature of 350F.
Once the mozzarella sticks are solid, gently slide them into the heated oil and fry until golden brown. This should take 2-3 minutes to achieve.
When cooked, transfer to a cooling rack and brush on the Nashville hot sauce.
Serve with a side of homemade ranch dressing and enjoy!
