Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Prepare the blue cheese sauce, combine the blue cheese, buttermilk, sour cream, garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, mustard powder, and salt in a medium bowl until combined
  • Refrigerate the sauce for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to marinate together
  • In the meantime, combine the ground chicken, egg, flour, 1/3 cup of the hot sauce, green onion, and garlic powder in a large mixing bowl
  • Roll the mixture into 1 ½ -inch balls and place on a baking sheet
  • Bake the meatballs for 15-18 minutes, remove from the oven and allow to rest for about 10 minutes
  • Toss the meatballs in the remaining hot sauce
  • Drizzle the blue cheese sauce over the chicken meatballs or serve in small side dishes to dip in
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Don't be afraid to use your hands to mix the meatballs. Sometimes I find it a lot easier if the ingredients aren’t coming together with a spoon or spatula.
  • Want to add a surprise to the middle? Stuff a small cube of cheddar cheese inside the meatballs before baking.
  • Vary your hot sauce flavor to create tons of different meatball varieties.
