These meatballs were so delicious that my entire family gobbled them down – no leftovers! Next time, I'm doubling the ground chicken recipe. The buffalo chicken meatball recipe was so easy to make, and everyone agreed that it was the best homemade dinner we've had in a long time.
To make this buffalo chicken meatballs recipe you need to grab the following list of ingredients from your pantry and fridge: ground chicken, olive oil, butter, hot sauce (we love Frank's RedHot), cream cheese, panko breadcrumbs, fresh celery, garlic, an egg, green onions and onion powder.
These juicy, slightly spicy meatballs are on the table in about 25 minutes. Serve the chicken meatballs for dinner with your favorite side dishes. I served the low-sugar, high-protein recipe with naan bread and green beans. Delicious. Check out the health benefits of protein!
