• 1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground fennel seed
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper (fine grind)
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 tablespoons buffalo hot sauce
• 1 cup Frank’s buffalo sauce
• 8 tablespoons (1-stick) unsalted butter
• 6 tablespoons honey

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare 2 baking sheets by lining with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix well, do not over mix or you will have tough meatballs. Using a 1 tablespoon scoop, scoop out meat and place on baking sheet. After all meatballs have been scooped onto tray, roll into balls.

Tip:

If you lightly wet your hands the meatballs will form better and crack less. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes (for 2 trays).

While meatballs are baking, prepare wing sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat combine all ingredients. Stir to combine cook until ingredient come together. About 5 minutes.

Remove meatballs from oven and transfer to sauce and serve.
