Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 2-2½ ounces blue cheese (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • ¼ cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 2 scallions (chopped, plus extra for garnish)
  • ½ cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 2 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instruction

  • Divide the blue cheese into 18-20 pieces, about ½ teaspoon each. Roll into balls. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, ¼ cup buffalo wing sauce, and the chopped scallions. Using a fork, mix to incorporate.
  • Using a tablespoon-sized scoop, portion the mixture into 18-20 balls. Make a hole in the middle of each ball and press a ball of blue cheese into the center and shape the chicken mixture around the cheese. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill (or freeze) for one hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bake the meatballs for 15-20 minutes until their internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
  • Meanwhile, combine the buffalo sauce, brown sugar, and butter in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
  • Toss the cooked meatballs in the sauce. Garnish with blue cheese crumbles and chopped scallions. Serve with forks or toothpicks.
