Breaded and coated in the same red-orange Nashville-style spice blend used on the chicken, this mozzarella stick gets its heat from the outside in. Inside, the cheese turns soft and stretchy when it's hot, with a mild flavor that sits against the seasoned crust. Compared with the chicken items, this side is simpler and more compact, with no spice-level options to choose from. It's served as an add-on or shareable appetizer, and like most fried cheese, it's best eaten soon after it comes out so the center stays pliable.
