A Healthy Buffalo Chicken Meatball Appetizer
That’s what I love the most about this recipe. It’s simple, easy and it’s easily adapt. Buffalo Chicken Meatballs could be served as delicious snack for a game day, they are crowd pleasing appetizer perfect for any party, or you can even serve it with rice and veggies as week night dinner for the whole family.
This recipe is actually a lighter, healthier twist on a game day classic- good fried buffalo wing, but it is still the same finger-licking good, at least for me. It packs all the hot and spicy flavor enough to get you yummy buffalo fix just without all that calories. That makes Buffalo Chicken Meatballs even better than the original.

All you need to do is to combine a few simple ingredients with ground chicken, rolls it in meatball form, place it in slow-cooker, toss with buffalo sauce and after two hours they are ready to serve. Another good thing about this recipe is that you can make it in advance and kept it warm until the party starts.
