Directions:

• Begin by slicing the goat cheese log into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch thick.
• In one bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and a pinch of black pepper. In another bowl, beat the egg until smooth. In a third bowl, place the Panko breadcrumbs.
• Take each piece of goat cheese and coat it first in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten egg, ensuring it's fully covered. Finally, roll it in the Panko breadcrumbs until well-coated.
• In your deep frying pan or Dutch oven, pour in enough oil to submerge the cheese balls. Heat the oil to about 350°F (175°C).
• Once the oil is hot, carefully add a few cheese balls at a time, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
• In a separate bowl, combine the melted salted butter, extra virgin olive oil, Franks Red Hot Sauce, seasoned salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix until well combined.
• Once the cheese balls are fried, toss them in the buffalo sauce until they are well coated. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped green onions or chives.
