Ingredients
-
cooking spray
-
2 ¼ cups Buffalo wing sauce, divided
-
½ cup butter
-
¼ cup honey
-
⅔ cup bread crumbs
-
⅓ cup finely chopped celery
-
⅓ cup finely chopped green onions
-
¼ cup crumbled blue cheese
-
2 large eggs
-
2 pounds ground chicken
-
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
-
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.
-
Combine 2 cups Buffalo sauce, butter, and honey in a slow cooker. Cover and set to High while you prepare the meatballs.
-
Combine bread crumbs, celery, green onions, blue cheese, eggs, and remaining 1/4 cup Buffalo sauce in a large bowl; stir until well combined. Add chicken, salt, and pepper; mix well. Wet your hands and form mixture into 1 1/2-inch meatballs; you should get about about 44. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake meatballs in the preheated oven until they're holding together well and are lightly browned, about 8 minutes; they will not be cooked through at this point.
-
Transfer meatballs to the slow cooker and stir well to combine with the sauce. Reduce heat to Low and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers reads at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), 1 to 2 hours. Keep warm until ready to eat.
Cook's Notes:
You could use this mixture and form patties for Buffalo chicken sliders!
We used Frank's(R) RedHot(R) Buffalo Sauce but any favorite wing sauce will work.
Make Ahead Idea: Follow steps 1, 3, and 4, and then freeze the partially cooked meatballs. When ready to use, add to the slow cooker with the sauce.
