Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

[Twitchin Kitten]

You know, I really didn't know where to put this recipe on the board and decided it belongs here. Buffalo chicken wings are definitely an American creation and since these are based off those, I deemed them American as well.

I saw this recipe on TV and thought I should give it a go. They're easy to make and they are so good!

Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

makes about 30 meatballs

ingredients:

• 1 pound ground chicken
  
• 3 Tbsp hot sauce (NOT TABASCO)
  
• 1 egg
  
• breadcrumbs
  
• 1 stalk celery, chopped fine
  
• red pepper flakes
  

Chop the celery into nice fine pieces. You need to make sure they're not too big or the meatballs won't hold together well.

Mix all ingredients, adding more breadcrumbs if the mixture is too loose.

Make your meatballs small, like little 'poppers'. You want them small enough to eat in one or two bites.

Place the meatballs on your tray and bake in a 425º F oven for 20 minutes

Let cool and serve with a salad and celery can carrot sticks and a side of ranch dressing or Bleu cheese dressing (we love it with ranch).
