Blue Cheese Stuffed Buffalo Chicken Meatballs
Servings: 24 Meatballs
I don’t know what it is about Buffalo Chicken but I absolutely love it, or maybe it's just the buffalo sauce. There is something that draws me to it on every menu that has it. There is this nice tanginess to a good buffalo sauce and the creamy blue cheese is such an amazing compliment. You can add butter or margarine to the buffalo sauce to tame it down to the level that you’re comfortable with. I personally love spicy food and I think that buffalo sauce has a really nice level of heat. It hits you right away but it doesn’t linger long.These little blue cheese stuffed chicken meatballs are one of the ones that are on my list for potlucks, game day get-togethers, and of course my infamous meatball parties. These are great for those who don’t like or eat red meat. You can also make these little balls in advance and serve them in the buffalo sauce in a crockpot so your guests, friends, or loved ones can snack on them until they are gone. They are a great finger food and go really well with a good blue cheese dressing and celery to cool them down a bit.
