Buffalo Chicken Meatballs Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Whats better than buffalo wings on game day? Three words: buffalo chicken meatballs One big reason to love this even more is they make for mess-free eating, unlike regular buffalo wings (hello, sticky fingers). All the flavor you love from the classic american comfort snack is transformed into an easy family dinner you can serve for dinner, pack in school lunches, or even make bite-sized to serve as an appetizer. Now, lets talk about the most important part of buffalo chicken meatballs: the hot sauce. Yes, you can use your favorite kind and even go for a milder flavor for more sensitive or picky palates, but for a true buffalo-style experience, franks hot sauce seals the deal, so its worth tracking down for this recipe. As for the dipping sauce, its ranch all the way. This one is a lightened-up version made with plain yogurt, sour cream, chives, and lemon juice, skipping the usual ranch spices to let the seasoning in the meatballs take front and center. If you want a more classic take on ranch dressing, weve got you covered here.
