Pour the buffalo sauce over the meatballs and stir gently.
Cover and cook for 12–15 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Toss the meatballs in the remaining sauce and serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.
Cooking Tips
Keep meatballs similar in size so they cook evenly.
Do not overmix the meat mixture, as this can make the meatballs dense.
Use a food thermometer to ensure the meat is safely cooked.
For a lighter version, bake the meatballs at 400°F (200°C) until cooked through, turning halfway if needed.
