Buffalo Chicken Meatballs make a fantastic appetizer. Buffalo Chicken Wings have been a popular bar food for years, deep fried and slathered in Buffalo Hot Sauce. The heat from the cayenne pepper sauce buffered with melted butter is the perfect eat-as much-as-you-can appetizer for snacking. My recipe for Buffalo Chicken Meatballs is a fusion of the Buffalo Wing appetizer and Italian Meatballs. The addition of herbs and spices into this dish makes for an amazing treat you’ll want to make again and again.
