Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp parsley or green onions, chopped
- 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/3 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter, cold
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.In a large bowl combine ground chicken, egg, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, parsley, breadcrumbs, cheese, Worcestershire sauce and milk. Mix just until combine, don't over-mix.
- Portion into meatballs (I got about 22-24 meatballs). I find just using your hands works best. You can even dampen your hands to make them easier to roll.Stuff a couple of blue cheese crumbles into the middle of each meatballs. Pinch some of the meatball around the cheese to cover it up and reroll them.
- Transfer the meatballs to the prepared pan and bake for 18-20 minutes or until they reach an internal temp of 165 F degrees.
- While the meatballs are cooking prepare the sauce. Add buffalo sauce to a medium saucepan and bring to a light simmer.Remove from the heat and add in the cold butter, whisking until it's melted.
- When the meatballs are done cooking toss them in the buffalo sauce.
- Serve with chopped up celery and blue cheese crumbles for garnish and enjoy!
