Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

Oh, man! These little meatballs are light and flavorful and are quick to disappear!

I served these with our Easter brunch as a last minute appetizer.

So not what I would normally add to my menu, but I wanted to use up the rest of the blue cheese dressing that I made last week.

At first I thought about making hot wings, but those take a lot of effort to eat and  leaves you feeling like all you did was gnaw on little bones!

These buffalo chicken meatballs are little, but satisfying and they’re the perfect size to spear with a bamboo fork!

Baked Meatballs

These can be baked ahead of time and reheated which is what I did since I was preparing several dishes.

I’m so glad I stashed these away before our brunch because I think if I would asked Alan to taste test these ahead of time there wouldn’t have been any for anyone else to try!

    1. Homemade blue cheese dressing is so much better than anything you buy at the store! My daughter doesn’t care for blue cheese and she tasted this and gave it a thumbs up!
