Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a pan with parchment paper, or foil sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, panko, egg, parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika, until well-combined.
- Using a spoon or scoop, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake on the center rack of the oven for 8 minutes. (The meatballs will finish cooking in the slow cooker; you are not looking to cook them all the way through in the oven.)
- Remove the meatballs from the oven, and carefully transfer them to the slow cooker. Pour buffalo sauce over the meatballs and gently toss to coat.
- Slow cook on LOW for 2 hours.
- Serve with ranch dressing, carrot sticks, and celery sticks as desired.
