Ingredients:

16 oz chicken thighs
450g
2 cups almond flour
240g
1/4 cup cheddar cheese
27g
1/4 cup ranch dressing
60g
8 tbsp pepper sauce
120g
1 egg
44g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Make sure the oven is fully preheated before baking the meatballs for even cooking.
2. Prepare the Chicken:
- If your chicken thighs are not already ground, use a food processor to grind them into a coarse ground meat. Ensure that the chicken is evenly ground for uniform meatballs.
3. Mix the Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken thighs, almond flour, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, and egg. Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
4. Form the Meatballs:
- Using your hands or a small ice cream scoop, form the mixture into meatballs about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are evenly spaced to allow for proper cooking.
5. Bake the Meatballs:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are golden brown and cooked through. You can check for doneness by ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
6. Coat with Pepper Sauce:
- Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them cool slightly. In a large bowl, toss the baked meatballs with the pepper sauce until they are evenly coated.
7. Serve:
- Transfer the coated meatballs to a serving plate and garnish with additional ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing if desired. You can also serve them with celery sticks or your favorite low-carb side.
8. Enjoy:
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Keto Buffalo Chicken Meatballs!

Tips:

- For extra moisture, consider adding a tablespoon of olive oil to the mixture before baking.

- If you prefer less spice, reduce the amount of pepper sauce and substitute with a mild sauce of your choice.

- To ensure even cooking, use a cookie scoop to form uniform-sized meatballs.

- Serve these meatballs with a side of keto-friendly ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

- For a crispy outer layer, broil the meatballs for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.

These Keto Buffalo Chicken Meatballs are sure to become a favorite, whether you’re a fan of the keto diet or just enjoy flavorful, spicy food. With simple ingredients and straightforward steps, you can easily whip up this tasty dish and cater to your cravings while staying on track with your dietary goals. Happy cooking!
