Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Meatballs couldn't be easier to make or more delicious! The delicious seasonings paired with buffalo sauce make for a zesty dinner that's ready in no time.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, egg, onion powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add in ground chicken and use your hands to combine. Using a tablespoon scoop, measure out even chunks of meat and roll into a ball using your hands.
Meanwhile, heat the butter and Buffalo sauce over medium heat until the butter melts*.
Spray the basket of the air fryer with cooking spray. Place meatballs in an even layer in the basket, not allowing them to touch (work in batches to ensure even cooking). Cook at 400 for 5 minutes, shake the basket to loosen meatballs, then cook an additional 3 minutes, until cooked through.
Drizzle with either ranch or blue cheese dressing and garnish with chopped chives.
*If you want less spice, add about ½ cup chicken stock to the sauce. It won’t be as thick, but it also won’t be as spicy.
