Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Air Fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb lean ground chicken
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup plain bread crumbs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 3 tbsp hot sauce plus 1/4 cup for tossing meatballs
  • 1 tbsp blue cheese dressing plus 2 tbsp for dressing meatballs
  • Cut celery optional

Instructions
 

  • Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl until you have a uniform mixture. Form into 12 meatballs (roughly 1.5 tbsp each).
  • Spray air fryer tray/basket and arrange meatballs each 1/2 inch apart.
  • Spray tops of meatballs with cooking spray.
  • Air fry at 375 for 15-16 minutes until internal temp reads 165 F. I use a meat thermometer like this one.

  • Serve with cut celery and enjoy! Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
