How do you make Buffalo Chicken Meatballs?
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F; then either line a sheet pan with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
Add the ground chicken, minced celery, chives, buffalo wing sauce, breadcrumbs, egg and salt to a mixing bowl. Using your (clean) hands, mix until all of the ingredients are blended.
Portion out the mixture using a tablespoon scoop; then roll into a meatball and place on the sheet pan. Repeat until you get twenty four meatballs. It's alright if they are close together as they will not spread.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees F using an instant read thermometer.
Serve alone or with your favorite dipping sauce like ranch, bleu cheese or garlic aioli.
