Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1/3 cup buffalo sauce, plus more for serving
- ½ cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 egg
- 1 ounce ranch seasoning
- ¼ cup finely diced onion
- 1 pound ground chicken
- blue cheese dressing, for serving
- celery, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425° F and brush a large baking sheet with a thin layer of olive oil.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, add hot sauce, butter, honey, and crumbled blue cheese. Whisk constantly for about 4 minutes, or until cheese and butter have melted. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.Note: cheese will melt best if using a block of blue cheese rather than pre crumbled.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine panko bread crumbs, garlic, egg, ranch seasoning, and diced onion. Add ground chicken and half the hot sauce mixture and mix until combined.
- Form 1-inch meatballs and transfer to prepared baking sheet. Bake 12 min, brush with a thin layer of the buffalo sauce mixture and continue baking for 3-5 more minutes or until meatballs have reached 160° F.
