Directions
Lightly heat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray. In a big bowl, mix together the chicken, feta, egg, bread crumbs, grated carrot, chopped celery, minced garlic, and ranch dressing mix until everything is well combined. Roll the mixture into small meatballs, about half an inch in size, and place them evenly on the baking sheet. Pop them in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, then give them a gentle turn to cook evenly. Keep baking for another 14 minutes or until they’re fully cooked through. Once out of the oven, transfer the meatballs to a large bowl, pour over your Buffalo wing sauce, and toss them gently to coat. Enjoy!
Great Ways To Serve
Serve them with a side of celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping. They also go well over a bed of greens or tossed into a salad. For a heartier meal, pair with rice or roasted vegetables.
How To Refrigerate This Dish
Store leftover meatballs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in the oven or microwave until heated through. You can also freeze cooked meatballs for up to 2 months; thaw before reheating.
