Buffalo Chicken Meatball Sliders Food

BUFFALO CHICKEN MEATBALLS

Steps:

• For the meatballs: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper covered with cooking spray.
• Combine the chicken, breadcrumbs, celery, hot sauce, egg, scallion, garlic and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Gently mix until well combined, being careful not to overmix. Using a tablespoon measure, remove scoops of the mixture, roll into balls and put onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake until cooked through and browned, about 15 minutes.
• For the sauce. Meanwhile, in a saute pan over medium-low heat, melt the butter with the hot sauce, stirring to combine. Once the meatballs are cooked, add to the sauce and toss to coat well.
• Transfer the meatballs to a platter. Sprinkle over the gorgonzola and celery leaves. Serve with the celery stalks and leaves on the side, as well as some toothpicks to skewer the meatballs as they are devoured.

SUNNY'S EASY AND CHEESY STUFFED SLIDER BAKE-TWO WAYS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven or a grill for indirect cooking to 350 degrees F.
• Prepare the rolls: Place the rolls on a nonstick-foil-lined baking sheet. With a serrated paring knife, carve out a circle on the top of each, cutting down about 1 inch deep. (You need to keep the bottom sturdy, so you don't want to cut all the way to the bottom. Get your fingers in there and pull out the plug of bread, leaving room for your filling. Save the excess bread for breadcrumbs!)
• For the buffalo chicken sliders: Mix the chicken, blue cheese, 1 1/2 cups wing sauce or to taste and 1/2 cup of the shredded Italian cheese blend in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• For the Italian meatball sub sliders: Assemble 12 sliders by spooning into the cavity of each: 1 tablespoon marinara sauce followed by 1 tablespoon mozzarella, then a meatball, then a teaspoon of marinara. Sprinkle the tops of the meatball sliders with the Parmesan.
• For the buffalo chicken sliders: Assemble the remaining 12 sliders by stuffing 2 to 3 tablespoons of the buffalo chicken mixture into each cavity. Top with the remaining shredded Italian cheese blend.
• Bake the sliders in the oven or over indirect heat until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden, about 25 minutes.

• Heat a 12-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the oil. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, the brown sugar, paprika and cayenne.

HOT BUFFALO CHICKEN MEATBALL SLIDERS RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:

• For the meatballs: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the ground chicken, hot sauce, brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, cayenne and garlic in a bowl. Gently mix with your hands. Divide the meatball mixture into 12 portions, then form into 1 1/2-inch meatballs using wet hands (meat sticks to dry hands). Push a piece of cheese into each meatball and pinch to seal. Heat the butter and vegetable oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the meatballs and brown on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the pan to the oven for 10 minutes to finish cooking. For the sauce: While the meatballs are cooking, combine the butter, hot sauce, honey and brown sugar in a small saucepot over high heat. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil and cook until the mixture comes together, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, mix in the garlic powder, salt and pepper, and stir until smooth. Pour the sauce over the cooked meatballs and toss to coat. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley. For the sliders: Add a pickle chip to each bun, then set a meatball on top. Skewer with a toothpick. Serve warm.
