BUFFALO CHICKEN MEATBALLS

Well another new recipe learned. They were pretty good. I think next time I will try and use a different sauce, as hot sauce is not my absolute fav. Maybe a sweet and sour one next time.

here is the recipe:

• 1 pound ground all-white-meat chicken
• 1/2 small onion, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, grated
• 1/2 cup parsley, chopped
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), for drizzling
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup hot sauce, such as Frank's brand

Pre-heat the oven to 400ºF.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken with the onion, garlic and parsley and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Flatten out the meat in the bowl and score it into four portions using the side of your hand. Shape each portion into four balls – you should have sixteen meatballs in total.

Wash your hands after handling the raw poultry.

Arrange the meatballs on a nonstick sheet pan and drizzle them with EVOO. Place in the oven and bake until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.

While the meatballs are baking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the hot sauce and whisk to combine. Toss the baked meatballs in the hot sauce to coat.
