Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are great options for this recipe. If you're using chicken breasts, be sure to pound them thin so they cook evenly.
  • Make sure your buffalo sauce is flavorful. You can use your favorite store-bought buffalo sauce or make your own. If you're making your own, be sure to use a high-quality hot sauce and add plenty of spices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When you're cooking the chicken balls, be sure to give them enough space so they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken balls will steam instead of fry and they won't be as crispy.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Blue cheese dressing is a classic choice, but you can also try ranch dressing, honey mustard, or your favorite barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

These mini spicy buffalo chicken balls are the perfect party food. They're easy to make, delicious, and sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you're looking for a fun and festive appetizer, give these chicken balls a try.
