Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

Moments like these call for comfort food that packs a punch, and nothing quite satisfies like the spicy, tangy embrace of buffalo chicken meatballs. They’re a playful twist on a classic, perfect for gathering around the table or savoring in solitude.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground chicken (preferably thigh meat for juiciness)
• 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (or regular breadcrumbs for a finer texture)
• 1/4 cup finely chopped celery (adds a fresh crunch)
• 1/4 cup buffalo sauce (adjust for more or less heat)
• 1 large egg (binds the meatballs together)
• 1 tbsp olive oil (or any neutral oil for frying)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder (for a subtle depth)
• 1/2 tsp onion powder (complements the garlic)
• Salt to taste (start with 1/4 tsp)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, panko breadcrumbs, chopped celery, buffalo sauce, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Mix gently until just combined; overmixing can make the meatballs tough.
2. Form the mixture into 1-inch balls, using a cookie scoop or your hands for even sizing. This ensures they cook uniformly.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the meatballs in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding. Crowding the pan can steam the meatballs instead of browning them.
4. Cook the meatballs for about 4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. A meat thermometer should read 165°F when inserted into the center of a meatball.
5. Transfer the cooked meatballs to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil, then serve immediately.

Velvety inside with a slight crisp on the outside, these meatballs carry the bold flavors of buffalo sauce with a hint of celery freshness. Try skewering them with toothpicks for a party-friendly presentation, or pile them high on a soft bun for a twist on the classic sandwich.

Buffalo Chicken Sandwich

Dusk settles softly outside, and the kitchen beckons with the promise of something comforting yet spirited. A Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, with its fiery sauce and cool, creamy contrasts, feels just right for a moment like this.
