Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

These Buffalo Chicken Meatballs make the perfect party appetizer, game day snack or healthy weeknight dinner! Easily made with just a few simple ingredients for delicious flavor-packed meatballs served with fresh veggies and your favorite dipping sauce!

Ingredients:

1 lb ground chicken
1/2 cup buffalo sauce, divided
1 egg
1/3 cup almond flour, or bread crumbs
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish with green onions and blue cheese crumbles, if desired

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, egg, almond flour (or breadcrumbs), 3 tablespoons buffalo sauce, garlic, green onions, onion powder, salt and pepper. Mix the meatball mixture together using a spoon or your hands until all combined.

Using a small cookie scoop (we used a 1.2 tablespoon size scoop), roll the meatballs into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (or sprayed with non-stick spray). Getting your hands a little wet helps to roll these meatballs as ground chicken can be a bit sticky. You should get about 28 meatballs. If you used a different size scoop perfect!

Bake the meatballs for about 18 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned and cooked through. Meatballs should have an internal temp of 165 degrees F when inserting a meat thermometer.

Remove the meatballs from the oven and toss with the remaining buffalo sauce, top with some green onions and serve with your favorite diiping sauce and sliced veggies.

Enjoy!
