Ingredients

Meatballs
  • 2 lbs 92% lean ground chicken (0.91 kg)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (56 grams)
  • 1/4 cup whole milk (2 fl oz)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Sauce (1 fl oz)
  • 1 tbsp Hidden Valley Original Ranch Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix (10 grams)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (2.5 mL)
Buffalo Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Sauce (4 fl oz)
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter (2.67 oz)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp honey (0.75 fl oz)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add panko breadcrumbs to a small bowl and mix in milk and 2 tbsp hot sauce. Stir to combine and set aside for 5-10 minutes.
  2. Pre-heat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and set aside.
  3. Add all meatball ingredients to a large bowl, including the panko breadcrumbs soaked in milk and hot sauce. Use your hands to mix until just combined, then use a cookie scoop for form 30-32 meatballs on the lined baking sheet.
  4. Optional: once all meatballs are formed on the baking sheet, spray with a little bit of cooking spray to help encourage browning.
  5. Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked through so that no pink remains inside the meatballs.
  6. While the meatballs bake, make the sauce. Add hot sauce, butter, and honey to a small pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat until all the butter is melted. Whisk vigorously to incorporate the butter and hot sauce.
  7. Pour sauce over the baked meatballs and serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing, if desired.

Notes

  • The meatball mixture will be very sticky - a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop will help you avoid frustration in forming the meatballs. If you don't have a cookie scoop, wet your hands with water to help prevent sticking.
