Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a large baking sheet with some cooking spray. In a big bowl, mix together the chicken, feta cheese, egg, bread crumbs, grated carrot, chopped celery, minced garlic, and ranch dressing mix until everything is well combined. Roll the mixture into small meatballs, about half an inch each, and arrange them on the baking sheet. Pop them in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, then carefully turn each meatball over. Keep baking for another 14 minutes or until they’re cooked through. Once out of the oven, transfer the meatballs to a large bowl, pour over the Buffalo wing sauce, and toss gently so they’re all nicely coated.
Why you’ll love it
These meatballs combine spicy buffalo flavors with a creamy, tangy filling that surprises every bite. They are perfect for game day, parties, or a fun weeknight dinner. The mix of bold heat and cool feta makes them truly unforgettable.
How to serve
Serve with celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping. They also go great alongside a crisp green salad or wrapped in slider buns for a fun twist. Adding a side of carrot sticks can balance the heat nicely.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them gently in the oven or microwave to keep the filling creamy. For longer storage, freeze uncooked meatballs on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
