Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

These meatballs are awesome! So flavorful and satisfying -easy to make, and the results are delicious. 

• 1 pound lean ground chicken
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
• 1 stalk celery
• 2 green onions
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 ounce crumbled blue cheese
• 1 cup Hot Sauce, divided
• 2 tablespoons butter

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with foil and coat with nonstick spray or use non stick foil.

Pulse celery and green onion in food processor to chop into small bits. Combine the vegetable mixture, chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, 1/4 the hot sauce and the blue cheese in a large bowl. Gently fold together but don't over mix.

Form the mixture into meatballs - you should get about 16 meatballs. Place the meatballs on the cookie sheet. Bake for 20 - 30 minutes until firm to the touch.

While the meatballs are baking, put the rest of the hot sauce and the butter into a microwave safe dish. Microwave about 30 seconds, until butter melts. Stir well to combine. Remove the meatballs from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. 

Place the meatballs onto a dish and drizzle with butter/hot sauce mixture.

NOTE: You can double the sauce recipe if you like the meatballs swimming in sauce!
