Ingredients
1 lb. of ground chicken
1/2 lb. of fresh chicken sausage, removed from casings (we used Trader Joes’s Sun-dried Tomato Basil flavored)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup of panko bread crumbs
1 cup of buffalo sauce, divided ( We used Wegmans Buffalo Sauce)
1/2 cup of parmesan cheese
1 tsp. of garlic powder
1 tsp. of onion powder ( We used Trader Joe’s)
1 tsp. of kosher salt
1 tsp. of freshly ground pepper
One 7-8 ounce package of blue cheese
1 bunch of chives, chopped (optional)
3-4 inch wooden skewers (24-30 count)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Cut blue cheese into bite size chunks. Allow the blue cheese to come to room temperature so cheese is soft and won’t crack when you put on skewer.
- For the meatballs, place egg, ground chicken, sausage, bread crumbs, 1/4 cup of buffalo sauce, parmesan cheese, garlic and onion powder, salt and pepper in a large bowl and gently combine.
- Using your hands, form the mixture into 1 inch to 1 1/4 inch meatballs and place onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for approximately 30 minutes, until cooked and slightly browned.
- Warm remaining buffalo sauce in a medium pan, add cooked meatballs to coat in sauce.
- Remove meatballs. Gently add blue cheese chunks to skewers and add meatballs. Sprinkle with chopped chives.
