Do you love buffalo chicken wings but hate how you look eating them? Not cute and pretty messy! These buffalo chicken meatballs that have all that good flavor of wings but without the carnage and saucy fingers :-)
Ingredients:
for meatballs
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/2 cup buffalo style hot sauce
2 lb. ground organic chicken thighs (i grind my own in food processor)
2 tsp. sea salt
2 large organic eggs
2 cups panko bread crumbs
celery stalks, cut into spears
for dip
1 cup greek yogurt
1 cup crumbled castello blue cheese (or use your fav)
1 cup best foods mayonnaise
sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
handful of chopped chives or green onions
red wine vinegar, to taste
fresh lemon juice, to taste
Directions:
1. combine all ingredients for dip in a bowl (I use a hand blender for super smooth). Place in fridge until ready to use.
2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. In a small pot, combine butter and hot sauce over low heat, whisking until butter is melted. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place remaining chicken meatball ingredients in a bowl and mix by hand, adding the hot sauce butter mixture as well See Photo. Make sure the ingredients are combined throughout (I wear gloves and mix with my hands, the best tools!). Roll the meatball mixture into large marble sized balls. Place balls in rows on the parchment paper See Photo. Roast until firm and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Allow the meatballs to cool for 5 minutes.
3. For an extra kick, drizzle extra hot sauce onto meatballs. Use each celery stick as a toothpick for each meatball and serve with dip.
