Well, I had to mention the game as we’re rooting for the Patriots!

My kids LOVE meatballs. It all stems from my mom making them meatballs most weeks when John was younger. His favorite meal is meatballs and spaghetti, closely followed by meatball subs 😉

When we were in NYC in November we went to the Meatball Shop. We went thinking, well, John will like it. Oh, my goodness, it was such an amazing restaurant with so much style and probably the best meatballs (sorry, mom). Okay, not as good as my mom’s meatballs but close. You could get all kinds of meatballs and say if you wanted them on mashed potatoes or over pasta. They also had make your own ice cream sandwiches. We all really loved it and will definitely go back again when we’re in NY. On the menu was Buffalo Chicken Meatballs and boy, were they good. We got a craving for them the other day so this is how we made ours.

Ingredients

Method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. While the oven is heating mix together your ground chicken, beaten egg, panko breadcrumbs, pepper and salt. You can add other herbs if you’d like but I knew my kids wouldn’t eat the meatballs if they saw green in them 😉 I find it easiest to mix the meat with my hands.

Spray baking sheets with cooking spray and create small balls (cocktail size) with your chicken mixture.

Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, until lightly golden. Make sure the chicken is cooked thoroughly. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees F.

I served the buffalo chicken meatballs in this shallow dish from Ikea, the tea towel is also from there. We like them swimming in sauce and the toothpicks add an elegant twist. They are twisted bamboo and biodegradable.

The Meatball Shop owners made their Buffalo Chicken Meatballs on the Martha Stewart Show a few years ago and shared the recipe. They used ground chicken thighs and included diced celery and hot sauce in the meat mixture. If you are interested you can probably find it on her web site. But your take on it sounds great. (Fly Eagles Fly) 😊
