Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

Buffalo Chicken Meatballs
  • Serves:  6
  • Prep Time:  20 min
  • Cook Time:  25 min

Ingredients

  • ½ white onion, peeled
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • ½ cup bread crumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ cup buffalo sauce, plus more for serving
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing
  • Blue cheese dressing, for serving
  • Celery sticks, for serving

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F with a rack in the center position.
  2. Grate the onion in a food processor or with a cheese grater over a kitchen towel lined colander. Pick up the corners of the kitchen towel and squeeze out the onion juice over the sink. If you use a food processor, scoop out the grated onion onto a kitchen towel and squeeze out the onion juice over the sink. 
  3. In a large bowl, combine ¼ cup of the grated onion with the ground chicken, bread crumbs, egg, garlic, salt, garlic powder, onion powder and buffalo sauce until fully mixed.
  4. Using your hands, form meatballs, about 2 tablespoons each, and arrange on an oiled, rimmed sheet pan. Brush the meatballs with the olive oil.
  5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatballs registers 165°F on an instant read thermometer.  
  6. Brush the meatballs with additional buffalo sauce and serve with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks alongside.
