Ingredients

• oil spray (I used my mister)
• 1 1/4 lb ground chicken
• 1/4 cup panko crumbs
• 1 large egg
• 2 scallions, chopped
• 1/3 cup finely minced celery
• 1/3 cup finely minced carrot
• 1 clove crushed garlic
• kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1/3 cup Franks Hot sauce
• 1/4 cup skinny blue cheese dressing (optional)
• finely chopped celery leaf for garnish (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly spray a non-stick baking sheet with oil.

In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, panko crumbs, egg, scallions, celery, carrot and garlic; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Using clean hands, mix until combined. Roll the mixture (1/8 cup each) into 26 round meatballs.
Place meatballs onto prepared baking sheet and bake until cooked through and golden, about 16 to 18 minutes.

Place the meatballs in a bowl, add the buffalo sauce and gently toss to combine. Serve immediately, drizzled with blue cheese dressing, if desired.
