Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the ground chicken, 1/4 cup Buffalo sauce, breadcrumbs, celery, carrots, green onions, egg, garlic, onion powder, salt and pepper until well combined.

Step 3

Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form the mixture into 1 1/2-inch meatballs and place on the prepared baking sheet. You should get about 20-24 meatballs.

Step 4

Bake for 18-20 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through and lightly browned. They should read 165°F (75°C) on a meat thermometer.

Step 5

While the meatballs cook, combine the remaining Buffalo sauce with the butter. Stir over medium-low heat until melted and smooth.

Step 6

Remove the meatballs from the oven and transfer to a large bowl. Drizzle the buttery Buffalo sauce over the top and toss to coat.

Step 7

Serve hot with blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping and extra green onions for garnish.
