Equipment
- baking sheet
- large mixing bowl
- Small Saucepan
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Chicken
- ½ cup Breadcrumbs
- ⅓ cup Parmesan Cheese
- 1 tablespoon Buffalo Seasoning
- 1 large Egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375º and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. In a large mixing bowl, add the ground chicken, egg, seasonings, Worcestershire sauce, buffalo seasoning, breadcrumbs, and parmesan cheese.
- Rake the meat mixture together until the ingredients are well combined and distributed.
- Once the meat has come together, form meatballs with your hands (about two tablespoon of meat per meatball).
- Place on the baking sheet and repeat until all the meat has been made into meatballs. Bake for 18 minutes.
- While the meatballs cook, add 1 cup of hot sauce to a small saucepan, then add in the butter. Stir on a low flame until the butter is fully melted.
- Add the baked meatballs into a small bowl, then pour the hot sauce over the top.
- Toss to fully coat the meatballs, then plate and serve with a side of greek yogurt, bleu cheese, or sour cream.
Notes
Rake the Meatball Mix: In order to prevent over-mixing the meatball mixture, use your fingers and "rake" the meat and other ingredients together, folding everything in and then forming the meatballs. This will result in super tender, juicy meatballs.
