Time 40m

Yield 18 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 16

Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying baking sheet
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup hot sauce
1 pound ground chicken
3/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/3 cup minced celery
1 egg
1/2 small onion, grated
Kosher salt
Sauce:
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Celery sticks, for serving

Steps:

  • For the meatballs: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the hot sauce, remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
  • Combine the chicken, breadcrumbs, celery, egg, onions and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add 2/3 cup of the cooled hot sauce mixture (reserve the rest) and mix to combine. Form the chicken mixture into 2-inch meatballs (about 18 total) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake until cooked through, about 20 minutes, brushing the meatballs with the reserved hot sauce mixture during the last 8 minutes.
  • For the sauce: Combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, blue cheese and vinegar in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the meatballs with the sauce and celery sticks.
