Instructions
- Start by preparing a dip, in a small serving bowl, whisk ½ Cup Greek Yogurt, 1 tablespoon White or Red Wine Vinegar, and Kosher salt and pepper. Add ½ Cup Crumbled Blue Cheese gently fold and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Next preheat the oven to 400F and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
- Crack 2 Large Eggs into a bowl and lightly whisk for 30 seconds with a fork. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 pounds Ground Chicken , ¼ Cup Chopped Green Onion, 1 cup of the 1¼ Cups Panko Breadcrumbs (save the 1/4 cup), beaten eggs, and 1/3 cup of the 1 Cup Hot Sauce.
- Add ½ teaspoon Onion Powder, and 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Using your clean hands, mix the meat until all the ingredients are incorporated and distributed evenly throughout the meat.
- You can also use a large wooden spoon or a spatula to mix. Now rub your hands with some oil and pinch off a piece of meat mixture (about 1 tablespoon). Gently roll the meat between your palms to form 1-1/2-inch meatballs.
- Dip the meatballs into the remaining panko breadcrumbs, gently pressing to coat on all sides.
- Place the meatballs into the prepared baking tray and lightly spray with cooking oil spray. Bake for 12 minutes until nicely golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and pour the remaining hot sauce on top. Toss to coat evenly, place the dish back into the oven and bake for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until cooked through. Garnish with 1 Tbsp Freshly Chopped Parsley.
- Serve the buffalo balls with the blue cheese dip and your favorite veggie sticks like celery, cucumber and/or carrot sticks. Enjoy!
