Next, place meatballs in a single layer on the bottom of the slow cooker.

Step 6

Lastly, pour remaining buffalo sauce over the meatballs.

Step 7

Turn slow cooker on High for 3-4 hours or Low for 4-6 hours. Stir meatballs and sauce during the last 30-60 minutes to prevent burning.

Serve buffalo chicken meatballs with a sprinkle of green onions, a drizzle of ranch or blue cheese dressing, and these cute bamboo toothpicks. Enjoy!
