Instructions
- Form the mixture into 1-inch (2.5-cm) meatballs and place on the lined baking sheet.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the parmesan cheese, almond flour, egg, buffalo sauce, salt, and pepper. Fold in the blue cheese and green onions.
- Add the ground chicken. Mix until just combined. (Don’t overmix.)
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl in the microwave or a small saucepan on the stove, heat the buffalo sauce and butter together, until melted. Whisk until smooth and hot.
- When the buffalo chicken meatballs are done, gently toss them with the buffalo sauce mixture. If you like, serve them with a drizzle of ranch dressing, extra blue cheese crumbles, and extra green onions.
