{Katie’s Kitchen} Super Bowl– Buffalo Chicken Meatballs!

HERE WE GO! Heading into Superbowl weekend…are you hosting or heading to a friends house this Sunday? Bring these and you’ll be the hit of the party!

My husband Tim and I had fun making these and then….eating them all for dinner 😉

This recipe will make about 30 meatballs….and they are easy to eat! I would definitely double for a party.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Start out with a big mixing bowl, put in ground chicken (1lb), 1 cup of bread crumbs, 1 clove minced garlic, 5-6 green onions finely chopped, 1 tsp. celery salt, 1/2 tsp. onion powder, 1 large egg, 1 packet of ranch dressing mix, 1 tablespoon of buffalo wing sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Mix it all up really good!

Roll the mix into 1 tablespoon balls and place on a baking sheet on parchment paper. Then, place into the oven for 15 minutes.

Take them out of the oven and pour a 1/2 cup of buffalo wing sauce into a bowl and toss with the chicken balls. Place them back on the baking pan and put back into the oven for another 10 mins.

Take them out, arrange on a fun plate with toothpicks and drizzle with blue cheese or ranch and they’re ready to eat!

INGREDIENTS: I got the recipe here! 

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 cup panko crumbs (or dry bread crumbs)
  • 1 (1 ounce) packet ranch dressing mix
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (divided)
  • 5-6 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (or flakes)

Interesting People #43: Billy Griffith “Millennials & Trade Work”

I had a chance to sit down with Billy Griffith from Tri-County Pumps to have a conversation about the state of millennials and trade work. We talk about the lack of respect for trade work, the lack of debt in training for trade work, and how Billy would try to turn this around. We also talk about the fact that retirement is outpacing the training of new trade workers. Don’t worry. It isn’t all doom and gloom!

This is a different style of podcast episode and I hope you enjoy it!

Good News: Five Besties Have Been To All 51 Super Bowls

On Sunday, the 52nd Super Bowl will be played in Minneapolis, Minnesota — and in the stands will be five friends who, amazingly, have attended each and every Super Bowl together through the years.

Calling themselves the “Super Bowl Five,” this group of longtime friends have been through a lot of sports history, as well as a lot of life.

They’ve moved all over the country, but each year, they find a way to gather at the site of the big game.

Back in 1967, they paid $10 for tickets to Super Bowl I. Tickets for this Sunday’s game are going for an average of $3,700.

While they are getting older, all in their late-70s and early-80s, the men plan to keep the streak alive as long as they can.
