Recipe Ingredients
- Ground chicken - I use organic ground chicken which is very easy to find in the grocery stores, just make sure to read your labels. I do understand everything is very expensive now so I like to buy a bunch when it goes on sale.
- Onion powder - I use onion powder in this recipe because I have it in my house always, but you can use equal amounts of white onion, shallot or even dehydrated onion instead.
- Garlic powder - I also use garlic powder because I always have it on hand in my house but you can also equal amount of minced fresh garlic.
- Egg - I use farm raised, organic eggs in all of my recipes.
- Green onions - Also known as scallions, these have a mild taste and are extremely versatile.
- Buffalo sauce - My favorite buffalo sauce is Frank's and yes, I do put this stuff on everything!
- Almond flour - I use the super fine almond flour in all of my recipes because it lends the lightest, ideal texture.
How To Make These Buffalo Chicken Meatballs
