Blue Cheese Stuffed Buffalo Meatballs

I made these with ground turkey and they were good, but I think they'd be AMAZEballs
with ground chicken!

Makes about 28 to 32 meatballs.

2 lbs ground chicken
1/2 small red onion, grated
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 egg whites
1 cup panko bread crumbs
2 packets powdered Ranch Dip mix
8 ounce block blue cheese cheese, cut into 1/2” cubes
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups buffalo wing sauce (by BBQ sauce and hot sauce in grocery store)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. With a fork, stir together chicken, onion, garlic, egg whites, bread crumbs, and ranch dip mix in a large bowl. Mix until just combined.

2. Press a cube of blue cheese into the center of each ball then form the mixture around cheese to seal. Roll into a ball.

3. Place meatballs on a non-stick sprayed cooling rack set on top of a baking sheet and then bake for 16-18 minutes or until cooked through.

4. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Then add buffalo wing sauce and stir to combine. Add cooked meatballs to skillet using a spoon to coat them with sauce. Place a lid on the skillet and turn heat to low to keep the meatballs warm. Alternatively. you can finish the meatballs in a slow cooker on high for about 20 minutes or until warm.
