Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground chicken thigh
  • 1/3 cup almond flour
  • 1/3 cup grated parmesan
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 tbsp ranch seasoning mix
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup Frank's RedHot sauce
  • 1/3 cup salted butter melted
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives minced
  • 2 tbsp blue cheese crumbles for serving

Method
 

  1. **Heat.** Preheat oven to 400F. Line a sheet pan with parchment.
  2. **Mix.** In a bowl combine chicken, almond flour, parmesan, egg, ranch, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  3. **Roll.** Wet hands and roll into 24 meatballs about 1 inch each. Place on the sheet pan.
  4. **Bake.** Bake 18 minutes until golden and cooked through to 165F.
  5. **Whisk.** Whisk hot sauce and melted butter in a large bowl.
  6. **Toss.** Add hot meatballs to the buffalo butter and toss to coat.
  7. **Serve.** Top with chives and blue cheese crumbles. Serve with celery and ranch.

Notes

Use ground chicken thigh, not breast, for juicier meatballs. Wet hands before rolling so the mixture does not stick. Use a small cookie scoop for uniform meatball size.
