Instructions

Buffalo Sauce:

  1. In a medium-sized bowl combine hot sauce, butter, garlic, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Whisk until smooth.

Chicken Meatballs:

  1. Add chicken, egg, ½ teaspoon salt, cayenne pepper, and Panko breadcrumbs to a large bowl. Mix by hand until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Roll chicken mixture into 2-tablespoon sized balls to form meatballs.
  3. Add half of the buffalo sauce into a 6-quart slow cooker.
  4. Next, place meatballs in a single layer on the bottom of the slow cooker.
  5. Lastly, pour remaining buffalo sauce over the meatballs.
  6. Turn slow cooker on High for 3-4 hours or Low for 4-6 hours. Stir meatballs and sauce during the last 30-60 minutes to prevent burning.
  7. Turn off heat and let meatballs and sauce set for at least 20 minutes before serving.*
  8. Serve buffalo chicken meatballs with a sprinkle of green onions, a drizzle of ranch or blue cheese dressing, and these cute bamboo toothpicks. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Nutritional information is calculated without dressing and assuming some sauce (2-3 tablespoons) will not be consumed.
  • If you are keto or low-carb you can also use a Pork Panko crumb mixture to lower the carbohydrate count.
  • Sauce will begin to separate when very hot.  If it does not thicken up after letting it sit for 20 minutes, remove meatballs, whisk the sauce until smooth, and return meatballs to the slow cooker.
