Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

Buffalo Chicken Meatballs are a good, low fat substitute for a famous Buffalo Chicken Wings which are tasty but very greasy, too. They can be fried, deep fried, grilled or baked and then tossed with a spicy hot sauce. For a healthy, low calorie meal I would suggest baking them.

You can make Buffalo style meatballs ahead of time and bake (or fry) when you need them, as they are best served hot.

They can be served as a party appetizer, side dish, skinny dinner or together with pasta as a complete meal. You can even make a sandwich with mini Buffalo Chicken Meatballs.

Of course, ground chicken can be substituted with any other type of ground meat as well.

To make this easy recipe richer, serve Buffalo Chicken Meatballs with a Blue Cheese Dressing.
