How to make it
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Mix Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine ground chicken, egg, almond flour, 1 teaspoon of buffalo sauce, garlic, green onions, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.
- Form Meatballs: Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking and form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. You should get approximately 6-8 meatballs.
- Bake Meatballs: Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 15-18 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Coat in Sauce: Remove from the oven and toss gently with the remaining buffalo sauce.
- Serve: Garnish with extra green onions and a small amount of crumbled feta cheese if desired. Serve with a side of sliced veggies like celery and carrots, and your favorite dipping sauce such as Greek yogurt ranch.
