Mix the meatballs
Preheat the oven to 400°F and set a greased rack inside a shallow baking pan. In a large bowl, combine the panko, 1/3 cup of the hot sauce, the finely chopped celery, and the egg white. Add the ground chicken and mix lightly but thoroughly — overworking it makes the meatballs dense.

Shape
Scoop and roll the mixture into about 24 one-inch meatballs and space them out on the prepared rack so the heat gets all the way around them.
- 3
Bake
Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until browned and cooked through to 165°F. Using a rack lets the fat drip off instead of pooling under the meatballs.
- 4
Toss and serve
Transfer the meatballs to a bowl and toss with the remaining 1/2 cup hot sauce until fully coated. Drizzle with blue cheese or ranch if you want, and serve over rice for a full meal. For meal prep, keep the meatballs plain and toss in sauce right before eating so they don't go soggy.
