Preparation
- Meatballs: In a medium bowl, mix together ground chicken, bread crumbs, egg, blue cheese, salt, pepper, and Frank’s Red Hot until evenly combined. Be careful not to overmix. Roll into golf-size balls.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs and cook until brown on all sides, about 3–4 minutes per side. Remove meatballs from the pan (they will not be fully cooked at this time).
- Batter: Whisk together cornmeal, flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Add in egg and milk, then whisk until a smooth batter forms.
- Heat 3 inches of vegetable oil in a pot until temperature is 350ºF (175ºC).
- Place the meatballs on skewers, lollipop-style. Holding onto the skewer, dip the meatball into the batter. Use a spoon to help fully coat each meatball in batter.
- Lower the meatballs into the oil and cook for 3–4 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through and the outsides are a deep golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve with more Frank’s and ranch dressing for dipping.
- Enjoy!

Personally I would take the blue cheese out of the meatballs the flavour overwhelms everything else Other than that it was a great party snack Hope this helps xx

Worked awesome! I had extra batter so I used it for corn dogs and it worked perfectly. Totally recommend!

If you don’t like the blue cheese you could use feta. It’s not traditional but it has the same crumbly texture and is delicious. 😊

My mates loved this when I made it! I would halve the batter though, I was left with over half or double your meatball recipe. They were delicious!
