Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400ºF.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken with the onion, garlic and parsley and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Flatten out the meat in the bowl and score it into four portions using the side of your hand. Shape each portion into four balls – you should have sixteen meatballs in total.
- Wash your hands after handling the raw poultry.
- Arrange the meatballs on a nonstick sheet pan and drizzle them with extra-virgin olive oil.
- Place in the oven and bake until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.
- While the meatballs are baking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the hot sauce and whisk to combine.
- Toss the baked meatballs in the hot sauce to coat.
- Serve the meatballs with a bowl of blue cheese dressing garnished with scallions, celery and carrot sticks alongside.
