Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup Frank's RedHot hot sauce, plus more for serving
- 2 pounds ground chicken, preferably thigh meat
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ribs celery, minced (about 1 cup)
- 1 2/3 cups dried breadcrumbs
- 2 teaspoons coarse salt
- Blue Cheese Dressing
- Celery sticks, for serving
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Evenly coat a large rimmed baking sheet with olive oil and set aside.
- Place butter and hot sauce in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, whisking, until butter is melted and hot sauce is well incorporated. Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl; let cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
- Add chicken, eggs, celery, breadcrumbs, and salt to bowl with butter mixture; using your hands, mix until well combined. Roll chicken mixture into firm, 1-inch round balls and place on prepared baking sheet; arrange the meatballs in rows so that they are touching on all sides. Transfer to oven and bake until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
- Take out of oven and let stand 5 minutes before removing from baking sheet. Place on a serving platter and drizzle with hot sauce; serve with dressing and celery sticks.
Do not use white meat chicken or Turkey! It just isn't the same!!!

these were fantastic! really easy to make & great flavor
Yum!!!!!!! These were gone in a heart beat. I will use buttermilk instead of milk for the blue cheese sauce.
I thought these were great. A spicy wing recipe without the bone. I think it would be OK with 1/2 ground chicken and 1/2 ground chicken breast. a great do ahead recipe.
I made these for a party and they were a BIG hit! Lots of complements. I shaared the recipe with other guests.
I made these for a Super Bowl party. They were good but not something that I would make again.
Without having made these I know they will be good, just by seeing them made on the show. I plan to make for Superbowl Sunday and serve them skewered with both the hot sauce and the blue cheese for dipping. Thanks so much for sharing!
Is it possible to freeze these?
These are indeed fantastic, and MUCH easier than traditional buffalo wings (no frying!). I'd suggest tasting one of them before pouring on any more hot sauce; they are spicy enough for some folks. I served extra buffalo sauce along with regular bleu cheese salad dressing for those who wanted more heat. They're now part of my regular menu selections!
These are fantastic (and I'm from Buffalo, where we are big on authentic chicken wings!). You can see my results here: http://marthaandme.wordpress.com/2011/02/01/buffalo-chicken-meatballs/
Perfect for a party or Superbowl!
Delicious!!!! My husband loved these. I will be making these for lots of future events like Super Bowl Sunday, potlucks, etc. Thanks for sharing this one, it is truly a keeper.
Lousy.........if you want the chicken wing flavor, make chicken wings. I made the recipe exactly as recited (and I watched the show), shared some with my sister, had some for dinner with a salad and ciabatta bread, and threw the rest in the garbage. C'mon Martha.......these were awful!. The recipe went in the garbage too.
I was at this show and was able to try them. They are delicious. Maybe the best I have had.
Mmmm sounds great! Going to try it out this weekend for poker night! When making meatballs though, I always use a mini muffin pan instead of a baking sheet. Meatballs keep their shape, brown great and it keeps them from sticking together!
These meatballs are absolutely fantastic. I made them for my family tonight along with the blue cheese dressing as suggested. They came out so moist and flavorful. This recipe is an A in this house and I am sure to be making it again soon.
