Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

Even though I don't actually like eating wings, I LOVE wing sauce. (I always dip my pizza in it. SO good!) So when I came across this recipe for Buffalo Chicken Meatballs, I knew I needed to give them a try. And they came out pretty darn amazing. Plus, they mainly cook in the crockpot, which means less work ;) They'd be perfect for taking along to a party, but I highly recommend making a separate batch just for yourself!

Buffalo Chicken Meatballs (recipe slightly adapted from Damn Delicious)

ingredients:

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 3/4 cup Panko
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 3/4 cup buffalo sauce

directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, Panko, egg, garlic powder and onion powder; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Using a wooden spoon or clean hands, stir until well combined. Roll the mixture into 1 1/4-to-1 1/2-inch meatballs, forming about 24 meatballs.
3. Place meatballs onto prepared baking sheet and bake for 4-5 minutes, or until all sides are browned.
4. Place meatballs into a slow cooker. Add buffalo sauce and gently toss to combine. Cover and cook on low heat for 2 hours.
5. Serve immediately, drizzled with blue cheese dressing, if desired.

Enjoy!
