Servings: 7
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce divided
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup almond flour or bread crumbs
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup green onions chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Garnish with green onions and blue cheese crumbles if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, egg, almond flour (or breadcrumbs), 3 tablespoons buffalo sauce, garlic, green onions, onion powder, salt and pepper. Mix the meatball mixture together using a spoon or your hands until all combined.
- Using a small cookie scoop (I used this small cookie scoop), roll the meatballs into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (or sprayed with non-stick spray). I find that getting your hands a little wet helps to roll these meatballs as ground chicken can be a bit sticky. You should get about 28 meatballs or feel free to use this cookie scoop for 18 larger meatballs.
- Bake the meatballs for about 18 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned and cooked through. Meatballs should have an internal temp of 165 degrees F when inserting a meat thermometer.
- Remove the meatballs from the oven and toss with the remaining buffalo sauce, top with some green onions and serve with your favorite dipping sauce and sliced veggies.
