Keto Buffalo Chicken Meatballs Ingredients

– Chicken: Ground chicken is the best option for this recipe. Sometimes when I feel fancy I ground my own chicken meat.

– Almond flour: Almond flour is a low-carb keto staple in my kitchen. You can substitute coconut flour.

– Hot Sauce: Any hot sauce but you can also use Tabasco or any other quality hot sauce for this recipe.

– Eggs: One large egg at room temperature.

– Green onion: Green onion also known as scallions finely chopped.

– Garlic powder: You can substitute with garlic oil or fresh minced garlic.

– Onion powder: This gives a nice onion flavor to the meatballs.

– Salt and pepper: I use sea salt instead of table salt because it has a better flavor for this recipe. You can also substitute with Himalayan pink salt if you prefer.

– Sugar: I like to add a bit of keto friendly sugar such as monk fruit or erythritol.

I like to add a bit of sweetness with sugar which I find is the best option for this recipe.

This gives these buffalo meatballs an Asian-inspired taste.

This is just my preference, feel free to omit any sweeteners from the recipe.
