Super Bowl Snack-Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

Are you ready for some Football!

Check out this recipe for Buffalo Chicken Meat Balls.  This recipe comes from a Meatball Shop in New York City.  I made a batch for my family as well as a client and they gobbled them up.  They are out of this world.  Your guest are sure to love them.

I recommend using a non-stick pan for ease of clean up, but if you want them to brown nicely then use a ceramic dish, like something you would get from Pamperd Chef. 

Also, you may want to make a double batch if you are hosting a larger get together.  This recipe makes approximately 70-75 meatballs. 

Buffalo Chicken Meat Balls 
  

2T Olive Oil

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

3/4 cup Frank's RedHot hot sauce, plus more for serving

2 pounds ground chicken, preferably thigh meat

2 large eggs

2 ribs celery, minced (about 1 cup)

1 2/3 cups dried breadcrumbs

2  teaspoons coarse salt

Blue Cheese Dressing & Celery sticks, for serving

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Evenly coat a large rimmed baking sheet with olive oil and set aside.

1. Place butter and hot sauce in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, whisking, until butter is melted and hot sauce is well incorporated. Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl; let cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
2. Add chicken, eggs, celery, breadcrumbs, and salt to bowl with butter mixture; using your hands, mix until well combined.
3. Roll chicken mixture into firm, 1-inch round balls and place on prepared baking sheet; arrange the meatballs in rows so that they are touching on all sides. Transfer to oven and bake until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
4. Take out of oven and let stand 5 minutes before removing from baking sheet. Place on a serving platter and drizzle with hot sauce; serve with dressing and celery sticks.

Enjoy and cheer for your favorite team!
