Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Meatballs
- 4 tbsp. (½ stick) unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup hot sauce, divided
- 1 lb. ground chicken
- ½ cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 celery stalk, diced
- 2 scallions (green onion), thinly sliced
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. Kosher salt
- In a small bowl, make the buffalo sauce by combining the melted butter and hot sauce. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, celery, scallions, garlic powder, salt and all but 2 tablespoons of the buffalo sauce.
- Divide the chicken mixture into 12 roughly equal portions. Roll each portion into a golfball-sized ball and place in the air fryer basket.
- Place the basket in the air fryer, select Air Fry mode, set the temperature to 400°F and set the timer for 12 minutes. Press the Start/Stop button.
- About halfway through, shake the basket to toss the meatballs, then replace the basket. The meatballs are done when they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Remove the meatballs from the air fryer and toss in the remaining buffalo sauce. Serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese.
