Ingredients
Meatballs
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 stalk minced celery
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoon buffalo sauce
- 1 large egg
Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dill weed
- 1/4 teaspoon parsley
Buffalo Sauce
- 4 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
Instructions
- Chop and mince 2 celery sticks
- In a mixing bowl add in ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, buffalo sauce and seasoning mix. Mix well then cover and place in refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. After, form meatballs. I used a meatball maker and got 20 meatballs out of this recipe. In a frying pan add a shallow amount of oil. Sear two sides of each meatball. Just sear, don't try to cook it through.
- Next, bake meatballs for 15 minutes to finish cooking them through.
- While meatballs are baking make sauce. In a small pot on medium/high heat add in butter and melt to make a roux.
- Sprinkle flour over melted butter and whisk until smooth. Continue to whisk while adding in milk and buffalo sauce. Continue to whisk until evenly combined then remove from heat.
- Once meatballs are done in the oven give them a toss in the sauce then serve.
