Buffalo Meatballs Recipe
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3/4 cup hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®)
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 pounds ground chicken
- 1 2/3 cups dry bread crumbs
- 2 stalks celery, minced
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®), or to taste
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Coat a large rimmed baking sheet with olive oil.
- Heat 3/4 cup hot sauce and butter together in saucepan over low heat, whisking constantly, until butter is melted and completely incorporated. Cool to room temperature.
- Stir chicken, bread crumbs, hot sauce mixture, celery, and eggs together in a bowl until evenly mixed; roll into 1-inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer meatballs to a platter and drizzle with 2 tablespoons hot sauce.
