Spicy Buffalo Chicken Meatballs - Video

Although this video was suppose to be posted BEFORE the Super Bowl, I figured, "Hey... better late then never, right?". Besides, you don't need a football game as an excuse to make these Spicy Buffalo Chicken Meatballs (I promise)!

I'm in Jersey hanging with my friends and family, so I'm gonna keep this short...

My husband and I LOVED these. We made them three times in one week after shooting the video... they are addictive! If you like wings I guarantee that you will like this recipe:).

And don't forget to serve them with some home-made, low fat, blue cheese dressing... enjoy!!

Spicy Buffalo Chicken Meatballs - Video

Ingredients

1 pound ground white meat chicken
1/2 small onion, grated
2 cloves garlic, grated
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
1 tsp of smoked Paprika
ΒΌ tsp cayenne pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup hot sauce (I use Wing-Time)

Garnishes:Blue Cheese Dressing
A couple of handfuls celery sticks
A couple of handfuls carrot sticks

Directions

Preheat oven to 400F.

In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, onion, garlic, parsley, paprika and cayenne.  Season with salt and black pepper. 

Take about two tablespoons of meat mixture and roll between the palms of your hand to form a meatball about the size of a golf ball.

Place meatballs on a rimmed baking sheet lightly coated with cooking spray.  Pop them in the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes or until they are cooked through.

While the meatballs are baking, heat the hot sauce in a  large skillet.  Toss the baked meatballs in the hot sauce to coat.

Serve the meatballs with celery and carrot sticks and some blue cheese dressing for dipping!!  Enjoy!

Makes 16 meatballs.

Dani,
I just came across your website and I love it! My weekly menu has 6 of your recipes on it! (The only reason it's not 7 is because we're going to a wedding one night!) haha.

I was literally just thinking today, "I want something that's LIKE buffalo wings, but a healthier option." A little digging on your blog, and BAM! I found this. Can't wait to try it soon! I might initiate a potluck at work just to give these bad boys a try!
