This is always in demand at any football get together. You can make the bites and use any type of sauce you want. Me personally, I like to take a quarter cup of Sweet Baby Ray's® barbecue sauce and a quarter cup of Franks Red Hot® sauce and mix it together.

Buffalo's finest bar food minus the bones is the perfect food to serve for the big game, a surprising appetizer, or even passed as a fancy hors d'oeuvre.

Yield Makes about forty 3/4 -inch meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/3 cup Frank's RedHot Sauce or any other favorite hot sauce
1 pound ground chicken, preferably thigh meat
1 large egg
1/2 celery stalk, minced
3/4 cup bread crumbs

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Drizzle the vegetable oil into a 9×13-inch baking dish and use your hand to evenly coat the entire surface. Set aside.
  • Combine the butter and hot sauce in a small saucepan, and cook over low heat, whisking until the butter is melted and fully incorporated. Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Combine the hot sauce mixture, ground chicken, egg, celery, bread crumbs, and salt in a large mixing bowl and mix by hand until thoroughly incorporated.

  • Allow the meatballs to cool for 5 minutes in the baking dish before serving.

ROASTED CHICKEN AND BRIE HOLLY MINI BITES



Roasted Chicken and Brie Holly Mini Bites image

I got the idea for these appetizers from my favorite sandwich at a local restaurant-a symphony of sweet fig, roasted apple, melted brie and tangy garlic mayonnaise. I re-created this delectable combination in a quick appetizer with bright red cranberries and green spinach to give it a holiday twist. These scrumptious bites only take about 20 minutes, but taste like you spent hours; you can also make them a few days in advance, then warm them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before serving. They're the perfect party appetizer! -Terri Gilson, Calgary, Alberta

  • Cut the chicken into small pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Season the chicken well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  • Dredge the chicken in flour. This will help the sauce stick to the chicken.
  • Cook the chicken in a hot oven. This will help it get crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick and creamy. Use a combination of butter, Frank's RedHot sauce, and ranch dressing to create a delicious sauce.
  • Serve the chicken bites immediately. They are best when they are hot and crispy.
