Spicy Baked Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400°F. Set a greased rack inside a shallow baking pan.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, stir together the panko bread crumbs, 1/3 cup of the hot sauce, the chopped celery, and the egg white. Crumble the ground chicken into the bowl and gently mix until combined.

3. 3

   Use a cookie scoop or teaspoon to portion the chicken mixture into 1-inch meatballs, rolling them between your hands to shape them. Place the meatballs on the prepared baking rack.

4. 4

   Bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes, until they are browned and cooked through. Transfer the hot meatballs to a medium bowl.

5. 5

   Pour the remaining 1/2 cup of hot sauce over the meatballs and toss to coat them evenly. Serve the spicy meatballs warm, with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping and chopped celery leaves for garnish, if desired.
