Ingredients

Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

2 lb ground Chicken
4 slices White Bread (crust removed)
¼ cup Milk
¼ cup Franks Hot Sauce
⅔ cup diced Celery
½ cup diced Onion
2 Eggs
2 cloves Garlic minced
1 ½ teaspoons Salt
½ teaspoon fresh ground Black Pepper

Buffalo Sauce

½ cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce
6 tablespoons Butter
¼ teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce

Serving

1 cup Blue Cheese Dressing

Instructions

Meatballs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Gently tear or chop bread slices into cubes and add to a dish with milk and hot sauce. Ensure bread is evenly saturated with liquid and let sit for 10 minutes while preparing remaining ingredients.
Gently crumble ground chicken into a large bowl and add remaining meatball ingredients. When bread has soaked for 10 minutes, add that to the meatball bowl as well, and gently combine all ingredients together,
Scoop out two tablespoons of meatball mixture at a time and gently roll into balls and set on a rimmed baking sheet. (will yield ~36 meatballs)
Place meatballs in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
Optionally: For added texture and color, you can finish cooking meatballs under the broiler.
When meatballs have finished cooking, toss them in buffalo sauce and serve with blue cheese dressing on the side.

Buffalo Sauce

Melt butter and combine with hot sauce and Worcestershire.

Notes

Tip: It is easiest to form meatballs with wet hands.
