Buffalo Chicken Ball Bites

Hello football season! These buffalo chicken ball bites are everything you love about wings minus the messy fingers!

Yesterday I shared with you an easy dip recipe that I love serving up at parties, so I thought I’d share one more football season fav!

These buffalo chicken ball bites are so good! I love making them any time but especially during football season to watch the games. 🙂

I’d faceplant into a bowl of wings every night if I could. They’re one of my favorite things so I’m always trying to come up with ways to give me the same flavor without frying anything.

I make baked buffalo wings quite a bit and buffalo chicken pasta is always a favorite in my house, but these chicken ball bites do the trick when I’m wanting something really easy to pop into my mouth.

They make for a great lunch on their own, and I love serving them on a hoagie too. Kind of like a meatball sub but buffalo chicken style. 🙂

The great thing about these also is that you can make a big batch and store them in the fridge for a few days and heat them up whenever you want a snack.

I’d definitely leave them in the container without sauce like that though. Once they’re reheated you can toss them around in some. 🙂

Here’s how to make these delicious little buffalo chicken ball bites…

Buffalo Chicken Ball Bites

1 lb. ground chicken
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup chopped onion
3 chopped garlic cloves
1 cup favorite wing sauce
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat your oven to 350 and mix together all of your ingredients. I put about 2 tablespoons of the wing sauce into the meat mixture and reserve the rest to toss them after they’re cooked.
With clean and damp hands, roll the mixture into balls and place them on a baking sheet. 1 lb makes about 12 balls.
Cook for 30 minutes and toss the meatballs in the remaining wing sauce when they’re done and serve immediately with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing to dip.
*Bonus! The celery acts as a skewer to pick those delicious chicken ball bites up. 🙂 Enjoy!
