Yield Makes about 75 mini meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
3/4 cup Frank's RedHot hot sauce, plus more for serving
2 pounds ground chicken, preferably thigh meat
2 large eggs
2 ribs celery, minced (about 1 cup)
1 2/3 cups dried breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons coarse salt
Blue Cheese Dressing for Spicy Buffalo Chicken Balls
Celery sticks, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Evenly coat a large rimmed baking sheet with olive oil and set aside.
  • Place butter and hot sauce in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, whisking, until butter is melted and hot sauce is well incorporated. Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl; let cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
  • Add chicken, eggs, celery, breadcrumbs, and salt to bowl with butter mixture; using your hands, mix until well combined. Roll chicken mixture into firm, 1-inch round balls and place on prepared baking sheet; arrange the meatballs in rows so that they are touching on all sides. Transfer to oven and bake until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  • Take out of oven and let stand 5 minutes before removing from baking sheet. Place on a serving platter and drizzle with hot sauce; serve with dressing and celery sticks.

I found the recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices to the chicken mixture and it turned out much better.

These were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. He said they were the perfect game day snack.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken balls turned out crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The buffalo sauce was also delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of buffalo chicken, but these mini balls were really good. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was just the right amount of spicy.

I made these for my kids and they devoured them! They loved the spicy buffalo sauce and the blue cheese dipping sauce.
