How to Make Baked Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe

1 pound ground chicken
1 egg
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon Frank’s Red Hot seasoning
1/4 cup ranch dressing
1 cup buffalo sauce

Step by Step Guide

1. Set your oven to 400°F and give a baking dish a good spray with nonstick cooking spray.

2. In a large bowl, mix together the ground chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, Frank’s seasoning, and ranch dressing. Stir it all up until everything is well combined.

3. Roll the mixture into meatballs (I usually get about 20) and place them in your prepared dish. Bake for 20 minutes, until they’re golden brown and cooked through.

4. Take them out of the oven and coat each meatball in buffalo sauce (get ready for that mouthwatering aroma!). Pop them back in for another 5-10 minutes until the sauce is nice and warm.

Serve and Enjoy!

And there you have it! Grab some extra ranch for dipping, maybe some celery sticks if you’re feeling fancy, and dig in!

Whether you’re feeding a crowd or just keeping them all to yourself (no judgment here), these meatballs are a surefire win.

No matter how you enjoy them, one thing’s for sure—these little bites of heaven won’t last long on the plate! So go ahead, make a batch (or two), and watch them disappear. Happy snacking!
