Dana’s Game Day Buffalo Chicken Meatballs
Spring is in the air, and the boys of summer are back on the field. But put away those peanuts and crackerjacks, because today I have a special treat for you. I could’t think of a better way to help celebrate the home opener weekend than by sharing with you a recipe given to me by my friend Dana Gollotto, who is a dietitian and chef for the Philadelphia Phillies. As you may recall, I shared a recipe back in February that I found online for chicken meatballs as part of my post on Superbowl party foods. When Dana offered to share her version of buffalo chicken meatballs, which by the way she says is the Phillies all time favorite recipe, I knew that it would be a home run. No doubt this recipe, which puts a unique spin on the classic appetizer, would make for a great game day dish to share with family and friends!
Dana has also graciously agreed to check in with Cucina Domenico occasionally to share other special recipes that she prepares for the Phillies. You can also check out my interview with Dana by clicking here. Now play ball!
