Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground chicken
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil
- 8 ounces butter
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 8 ounces hot sauce Frank's Red Hot brand
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F, and spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the ground chicken, salt, ground black pepper, onion powder, granulated garlic, panko, egg, and vegetable oil. Mix well.
- Roll 1 to 1 ½ portion of meat into meatballs. Place on the baking sheet.
- Bake the meatballs for 30 to 35 minutes, until they are cooked through and browned on the bottom.
- In a large saucepan, combine the butter and minced garlic. Heat over medium heat until the garlic becomes fragrant. Add Frank's Red Hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until the sauce becomes uniform.
- Add the meatballs to the saucepan. Place a lid on the saucepan, turn the heat to low, and cook until the meatballs are heated through.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- For extra flavor, add 1/4 cup finely crumbled blue cheese directly to the meatball mixture. The cheese will create little pockets of tangy goodness that perfectly complement the buffalo sauce.
