Low Carb Spicy Buffalo Chicken Meatballs Recipe
Ingredients
Makes about 16 balls
• 1 lb. ground white free range or organic chicken meat

• 1/2 cup of a healthy low carb hot sauce (Dani uses Wing Time)
• Himalayan Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions
• Preheat your oven to 400°F. (200°C)
• Place the ground chicken in a bowl. Add the garlic, onion, paprika, parsley, and cayenne pepper. Season with salt and pepper.
• Take about 2 tbsp. of the ground meat mixture and roll with your hand to shape into a ball similar to the size of a golf ball.
• Place the meatballs on a baking sheet that’s coated with healthy cooking spray. Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until such time that they are cooked through.
• While the meatballs are baking, start heating the hot sauce in a skillet. Then toss the baked meatballs in the sauce to coat.
• Arrange the meatballs on a serving plate with the carrot sticks and celery sticks. Serve with a healthy blue cheese dressing dip or another or your favorite healthy dips.
