Ingredients
- ½ tablespoon butter, salted
- ½ cup red hot buffalo wing sauce by frank's
- 12 ounce boneless skinless chicken breast
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon oregano, dried
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ tablespoon red hot buffalo wing sauce by frank's
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- *Melt 1 TB of butter. Then, combine it in a bowl with the 1 cup of Frank’s Hot Sauce. Set this bowl aside for later use.
- In a food processor, combine the raw chicken breast with all the remaining ingredients except for the olive oil. You may want to pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel and then roughly chopping it into pieces before adding it to the food processor.
- Form approximately 8 meatballs that are about 2-inches wide each.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet not much larger than the space your meatballs will take up to a medium-high heat. Place the chicken meatballs evenly in the oil. Slowly rotate the meatballs with a pair of cooking tongs until all the sides are golden brown, and the chicken is cooked through (165 degrees internal temp.). This can take 5-10 minutes, depending on your heat level.
- Turn the heat down to a medium-low, and pour the butter-hot-sauce mixture from earlier over the meatballs. Cook until the sauce comes to a gentle simmer, and all ingredients are heated through.
- Enjoy as is with toothpicks for a snack or appetizer, or add the buffalo chicken meatballs to other favorite Carb Manager meals!
