Meatballs are good. Blue cheese is good. Buffalo chicken? One of the best culinary creations of the 21st century. Put all those great things together and you get a little round piece of heaven. After your first initial bite into the tender chicken, your mouth will be surprised with a contrast of spicy buffalo sauce to be relieved by a gooey, blue cheese center.

Ingredients

Garnish

1 cup Blue cheese or ranch dressing (for dipping)
2 Celery (finely chopped)

1/4 cup Unsalted butter
2 1/2 cups Hot sauce
8 oz. Blue cheese
1/4 tsp. Black pepper
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 cup Breadcrumbs
2 pounds Ground chicken breast

Method

01

In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, eggs, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure ingredients are evenly distributed.
02

Using about 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture, lightly flatten out into a disk and add a piece of blue cheese (about 1/2 inch piece.) Close the chicken around the cheese and roll into a ball. Cheese should be completely encased by the chicken so it will not leak through into the sauce while cooking.
03

Repeat the chicken, cheese, rolling process until all the chicken is used.
04

In a crock pot, add 1/2 cup of hot sauce to the bottom to prevent meatballs from sticking or burning. Layer meatballs and remaining 2 cups of hot sauce so the meatballs are evenly coated.
05

Scatter pieces over butter over the top of the meatballs. Cover and cook on high for two hours.
06

After cooking, gently stir meatballs to evenly coat with hot sauce and to stir in any separated butter. Transfer to a serving dish and coat with remaining buffalo sauce from the crock pot.
07

Sprinkle the buffalo chicken meatballs with chopped celery. Serve alongside blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping.
