I like most most people am a huge buffalo chicken fan. In my opinion it is the ultimate, crave-able flavor combo there is. Pizza, dips, salads, wraps, sandwiches, etc. There is no limit to how many buffalo chicken interpretations can be created and devoured.
This meatball recipe is my interpretation on a classic Buffalo chicken appetizer. It is super easy to make taking less than 30 minutes from start to finish. This is sure to become your new favorite recipe and one you crave!
I chose to use primal kitchen Buffalo sauce for this recipe and I was seriously impressed with its texture and flavor. I also felt good about using it because the ingredients are clean and not full of anything artificial. I love topping the meatballs with a drizzle of ranch and crumbled gorgonzola but you could dip or top them with anything you want.
I suggest serving this recipe as an appetizer or party food, however, there is no limit to when you should make these.
