BUFFALO CHICKEN MEATBALLS WITH BLUE CHEESE SAUCE



Buffalo Chicken Meatballs with Blue Cheese Sauce image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h35m

Yield 16 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons buttermilk
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 small yellow onion, cut into medium dice
2 tablespoons buttermilk
1 slice white or wheat bread, torn into small pieces
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons hot sauce, such as Frank's
1 pound ground chicken
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
1 package ranch dressing mix
1 large egg
3/4 cup diced celery
Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the aluminum foil
4 ounces blue cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons honey

Steps:

  • For the blue cheese sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, blue cheese, sour cream, buttermilk, honey and garlic powder in a bowl and whisk until blended. Set aside.
  • For the buffalo chicken meatballs: Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until soft and translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Let cool.
  • In large bowl, combine the buttermilk, torn bread and 2 tablespoons of the hot sauce and mix to form a paste. Add the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, ranch dressing mix, egg and 1/2 cup of the diced celery and mix with your hands until combined. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
  • Form the meatball mixture into 16 even mini patties, about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Place a cube of blue cheese in the center of a patty and wrap the meat around the cheese. Roll into a uniform ball and place on the prepared baking sheet. Continue with the remaining patties and cheese cubes, making sure to wash your hands in cold water a few times between rolling to keep the meatballs from sticking to your hands. Bake the meatballs until lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • While the meatballs bake, prepare the buffalo sauce. In a medium pot over medium-low heat, combine the butter, honey and remaining 1 cup hot sauce. Heat until the butter is melted, whisking until well blended. Continue to cook until the sauce is heated through.
  • Transfer the meatballs to a large mixing bowl and pour over the buffalo sauce. Gently toss to coat and transfer to a platter. Garnish with a drizzle of the blue cheese sauce and the remaining 1/4 cup diced celery. Serve the rest of the blue cheese sauce on the side.
