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!
