Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Meatballs Recipes

SLOW-COOKER BUFFALO CHICKEN MEATBALLS

Steps:

• In large bowl, mix chicken, bread crumbs, celery, 1/4 cup of the sauce, the onion, eggs, garlic, salt and pepper; gently mix to combine. Using wet hands, shape mixture into 1 1/2-inch meatballs (about 36 total).
• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add half of the meatballs; cook about 5 minutes or until golden brown on all sides. Repeat with remaining oil and meatballs. Transfer browned meatballs to 4-quart slow cooker. Pour 1/4 cup of the sauce over meatballs. Cover; cook on Low heat setting about 3 hours or until thermometer inserted in center of meatballs reads at least 165°F.
• In small bowl, beat melted butter and remaining 1/4 cup sauce with whisk. Drizzle over meatballs; gently toss to coat.
• Serve with blue cheese dressing as a dip.
