Buffalo Chicken Meatball Bites
Ingredients
  • cooking spray
  • 2 1/4 cups Buffalo wing sauce, divided
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2/3 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped celery
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 pounds ground chicken
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, or 230 degrees Celsius. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly mist it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2
In a slow cooker, blend 2 cups of Buffalo sauce, melted butter, and honey together. Cover the slow cooker and set it to High while you prepare the meatballs.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine bread crumbs, chopped celery, green onions, crumbled blue cheese, eggs, and the remaining 1/4 cup of Buffalo sauce. Mix everything together until it's well incorporated. Add diced chicken, salt, and pepper to the bowl; mix until just combined.
4
Wet your hands and shape the mixture into 1 1/2-inch meatballs. You should end up with around 44 meatballs in total.
5
Transfer the formed meatballs to the prepared baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven until they're holding together well and lightly browned, approximately 8 minutes. At this point, the meatballs won't be fully cooked.
6
Transfer the baked meatballs to the slow cooker and stir them well into the sauce. Reduce the heat to Low and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers reads at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit, taking around 1 to 2 hours. Keep the meatballs warm until you're ready to serve.
