Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons (½ stick)unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup hot sauce, divided
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • ½ cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 celery stalk, finely diced
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Preparation

  1. In a small bowl, make the buffalo sauce by combining the butter and hot sauce.
  2. In a medium bowl, add the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, celery, scallions, garlic powder, salt, and all but 2 tablespoons of the buffalo sauce. Mix well.
  3. Divide the mixture into 12 portions. Roll each into a golfball-size ball, and place in the basket. Place the basket in the air fryer. Select Air Fry, and set the time to 12 minutes and the temperature to 400°F. Press Start/Stop. When alerted, shake the basket to toss the meatballs, and replace the basket to finish cooking. The meatballs are done when a thermometer inserted in the center of a meatball reads 165°F.
  4. Remove the meatballs from the basket and toss in the remaining 2 tablespoons of buffalo sauce. Serve immediately.
