Feta stuffed cocktail buffalo chicken meatballs are a delicious and easy appetizer or side dish that everyone will love. Here's how to make them:
Ingredients:
* 1 lb ground chicken
* 1 cup breadcrumbs
* 1 egg
* 1/2 cup milk
* 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
* 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
* 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
* 1/4 cup chopped green onions
* 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
* 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, feta cheese, parsley, basil, green onions, red onion, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.
2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the mixture to chill and firm up.
3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or non-stick cooking spray.
4. Using an ice cream scoop, form the meat mixture into round balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Each meatball should be about 2 tablespoons in size.
5. In a small saucepan over medium heat, sauté the garlic until fragrant, then pour in the buffalo sauce. Let it simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
6. Brush the buffalo sauce all over the meatballs and return them to the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown on top.
7. Serve the feta stuffed cocktail buffalo chicken meatballs warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or blue cheese dressing. Enjoy!
These meatballs are perfect for game night or any occasion when you need a crowd-pleaser. They're also easy to make ahead of time and reheat in the oven when you're ready to serve. Don't be afraid to get creative with your spices and herbs – you can add some cumin, chili powder, or Italian seasoning for an extra kick. Happy cooking!
