Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 1/4 cup Frank’s RedHot sauce
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • For the Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot sauce
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons blue cheese dressing
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, panko breadcrumbs, chopped onion, 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese, 1/4 cup Frank’s RedHot sauce, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  5. While the meatballs are baking, prepare the sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot sauce, melted butter, blue cheese dressing, and white vinegar until well combined.
  6. Once the meatballs are done baking, transfer them to a serving bowl. Pour the buffalo blue cheese sauce over the meatballs and toss gently to coat.
  7. Serve hot with extra blue cheese crumbles and celery sticks, if desired.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the meatball mixture.
  • If you don’t have Frank’s RedHot sauce, any cayenne pepper-based hot sauce will work.
  • Blue cheese dressing can be substituted with ranch dressing for a milder flavor.
