Ingredients

  • ¾ cup Panko bread crumbs
  • ⅓ cup Louisiana-style hot sauce, divided
  • ½ cup Butter, melted
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 pound lean ground chicken
  • Blue cheese or ranch salad dressing (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Melt butter in your ⅓ cup of hot sauce. This will make the sauce less spicy. If you prefer more spicy, skip this step or add less butter.
  2. In a large bowl, combine bread crumbs, half of your hot sauce/butter combo, and egg white. Add chicken and gently mix. Shape into twenty-four 1-in. balls. Place on a greased baking pan.
  3. Bake at 400°F for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through.
  4. Toss meatballs with remaining hot sauce. Enjoy with ranch dipping or by themselves. They are great either way!

Notes

  • Prep ahead. Prepare the meatball mixture and store covered in the fridge for 1-2 days or form balls and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw if needed before baking. The extra sauce can also be stored in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days or freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat them in the oven or microwave and add more sauce if needed.
