Crockpot Honey Buffalo Chicken Meatballs
Description
This recipe starts with frozen chicken meatballs placed in a slow cooker and covered with a sauce blending honey's sweetness, the heat of buffalo sauce, and the fruitiness of peach preserves dissolved in chicken broth. Cooking on low heat for several hours allows flavors to infuse the meatballs.
Adding a cornstarch and water mixture during the last hour thickens the sauce to a shiny, clingy finish. The result is tender meatballs coated in a balanced sweet-hot glaze, ideal for a hearty appetizer or main paired with sides.
The recipe notes that substituting beef meatballs will still produce a tasty outcome, suggesting flexibility in protein choice.
Ingredients
- 1 chicken meatball 28 oz, frozen, package
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup peach preserves
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Place the meatballs in the slow cooker. I used a 6 quart crock pot.
- In a small bowl whisk together the buffalo sauce, honey, peach preserves, and the chicken broth.
- Pour over the meat balls.
- Cook on low for 4 hours.
- Mix the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl.
- Stir the cornstarch mixture into the crock pot for the last hour of the cooking time to thicken the sauce.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Beef meatballs can be used as an alternative to chicken with good flavor results.
- Thickening the sauce with cornstarch is important for a desirable glaze consistency.
- Cooking on low for 4 hours allows thorough flavor absorption and tender meatballs.
