BUFFALO CHICKEN MEATBALLS

Sure, here’s a recipe for Buffalo Chicken Meatballs:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions (optional)
• 1/4 cup buffalo sauce
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)
• Cooking spray

For the sauce:

• 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, bread crumbs, celery, onion, green onions (if using), buffalo sauce, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
3. Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned.
5. While the meatballs are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the buffalo sauce until well combined. Keep warm until ready to use.
6. Once the meatballs are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
7. In a large bowl, toss the cooked meatballs with the buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
8. Serve the Buffalo Chicken Meatballs hot, garnished with blue cheese crumbles if desired, and alongside celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
