Buffalo Chicken Balls

You guys are going to want to make these buffalo chicken balls.  While I love a good chicken wing, eating them at a party just isn’t the easiest – it’s messy and I imagine I have buffalo sauce all over my face.  I’m klassy like that.

Here’s my grocery saving tip from me to you.  If you have a food processor, you can just grind boneless skinless chicken breasts to make your own ground chicken.  My store had them on sale for $1.99 a pound – boneless chicken breasts.  Right next to that was the packaged ground chicken (using dark meat) for $8 a pound.  WTF.  Don’t do that.  Be your own butcher!  Well, this will make you feel like a butcher.  Not sure my sister would do this though!

This recipe makes 12 balls.  On #teampurple on WW they are 3 points for the whole recipe.

I routinely cook up 2-3 baked potatoes for the week and store them in my fridge to use later in the week.  Once cold out of the fridge, they shred on a cheese grater like a dream – just the potato shreds leaving the skin on your cutting board!

These were so delicious.  I made these as part of my meal prep, and just rolled them into the balls, without the panko breading, and froze them individually on a sheet tray, then popped them in a ziplock bag.  That way I can pull out as many balls as I want.  I defrosted a couple balls and made a buffalo chicken pizza – so good!
