Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2/3 cup Buffalo wing sauce
  • 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 lb. ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing, store-bought or homemade

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. In a bowl, mix Buffalo sauce with butter. 
  3. In another bowl, mix together bread crumbs, egg, 2 tablespoons of the now buttery Buffalo sauce, garlic powder, and salt. Once mixed, add the ground chicken and mix with your hands to just combine, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Shape the mixture into small 1” balls and place them on the baking sheet. Bake until no longer pink inside, about 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven.
  5. Toss meatballs with remaining Buffalo-butter sauce. Drizzle with ranch dressing and serve immediately.

Notes

*Add a bit of salt and pepper to your mixture, about ¼ teaspoon of each. Then make a small meatball and microwave it on a plate 10 seconds at a time until cooked through. Let it cool a bit and then taste it. You’ll then know if the amount of seasoning is right for you or if more is needed.
