Categories     Chicken

Yield 33 balls

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs. ground chicken
1/2 small red onion, grated
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 egg whites
1 cup Panko bread crumbs
2 Tablespoons powdered Ranch Dip mix
6 oz block feta cheese cut into 1/2 cubes
4 Tablespoons butter
1 12oz. bottle Franks's buffalo wing sauce (I like to
mix the hot and mild or use medium of there is one)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Stir together onion, garlic, egg whites, bread crumbs and ranch dip mix in a large bowl. Add ground chicken until just combined. Take a small amountl of chicken mixture from bowl, flatten, add cube of feta and form meatball around cheese, sealing (bite size). Place meatballs onto a non-stick sprayed cooling rack and set on top of baking sheet (I don't have one...I sprayed a baking sheet or use non-stick foil) and bake for 18-20 minutes or until cooked through. You will need to do this in a couple of batches. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat then add buffalo wing sauce and stir to combine. Add cooked meatballs to skillet and toss to coat in sauce. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
