BUFFALO CHICKEN MEATBALLS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Add red onion, garlic, egg, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs and seasonings to a large bowl then stir with a fork to combine.
• 2. Add ground chicken then mix until combined - do not over mix or the meatballs will be tough. Roll mixture into 2" balls (use a small ice cream scoop.) Press a cube of Bleu cheese into the center of each meatball then close the mixture around the cheese and seal meat together.
• 3. Meanwhile, melt butter in saucepan over medium heat; add sauce and granulated garlic and stir to combine. Turn heat to low and simmer until sauce begins to thicken and reduce slightly.
• 4. Place meatballs onto a buttered or sprayed cooling rack and put rack inside a baking pan; bake for 15 minutes.
• 5. Brush the top of each meatball with the sauce and bake them another 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees.
• 6. Serve with remaining sauce, Bleu Cheese dressing, celery & carrot sticks. *NOTES: You may substitute the Buffalo wing sauce with your favorite Marinara or BBQ sauce. You can omit the cheese, if desired. It still makes really good meatballs.
• 7. *Note: These also make excellent sliders.
