Buffalo Balls

Features:
    Cuisine:

    We love most things "Buffalo" and these look yummy. Adapted from Guy Fieri. He uses two boneless/skinless chicken thighs and grinds the meat himself. I'll be using store-bought ground chicken and reflected that in the recipe. This needs some time in the fridge to rest so prepare at least 4 - 24 hours ahead. **Prep and Cooking times are estimates and do not include refrigeration time.
