Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Start by spraying a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to ensure your meatballs don't stick while baking.
  2. Process the chicken and garlic. In a food processor, pulse the boneless, skinless chicken breasts and fresh garlic until finely chopped.
  3. Mix the meatball ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the processed chicken mixture with panko breadcrumbs and eggs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Form the meatballs. Using your hands, shape the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs, then gently place them in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and are lightly golden.
  6. Prepare the sauce. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, then stir in the honey and Buffalo sauce until well combined.
  7. Drizzle the sauce over your baked meatballs before serving.
