Savory BBQ Chicken Meatballs

Crockpot chicken appetizers are perfect for any occasion. Easy to prepare, these bite-sized delights are sure to be a hit at your next gathering. One of the most popular chicken appetizers that can be made in a crockpot is the Savory BBQ Chicken Meatballs. These meatballs are juicy, delicious, and full of flavor. The slow cooking process allows the chicken to absorb the BBQ sauce, resulting in a rich and robust flavor that will leave your guests asking for more.

The best part about this recipe is that it requires minimal effort. The crockpot does most of the work, leaving you free to focus on other tasks. Despite being easy to make, these meatballs are packed with flavor and are sure to impress your guests. This recipe serves 4-6 people, making it a great option for small gatherings or family dinners.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Cooking Instructions:

  1. Start by combining the ground chicken, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, and egg in a large bowl. Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste. Mix everything together until well combined.
  2. Once the mixture is well combined, form it into small meatballs. You should be able to make around 16-20 meatballs from this mixture.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs to the skillet. Cook the meatballs until they’re browned on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  4. After the meatballs are browned, transfer them to your crockpot. Pour the BBQ sauce and water over the meatballs.
  5. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4-6 hours. The meatballs are ready when they’re cooked through and the BBQ sauce has thickened.

Extra Tips:

When cooking these Savory BBQ Chicken Meatballs, it’s important to remember to not overcrowd the skillet when browning the meatballs. If the skillet is too crowded, the meatballs will steam instead of browning, which can affect the flavor.

Also, consider using a homemade BBQ sauce for this recipe. Homemade sauce often has a richer flavor than store-bought versions. However, a good quality store-bought sauce will work just fine if you’re short on time.

Finally, make sure to stir the meatballs occasionally while they’re cooking in the crockpot to guarantee they’re evenly coated in the BBQ sauce.

  3. Add the softened cream cheese to the chicken mixture. You may need to stir it a few times to help it blend smoothly.

  8. Serve your Buffalo Chicken Dip straight from the crockpot with tortilla chips or crusty bread.

Extra Tips:
