Buffalo Chicken Cheese Balls

Post #2 of today's appetizers for Dan's hockey gathering here. After throwing the cocktail meatballs in the crock pot, and throwing the cupcakes in the oven (recipe coming soon), it was time to get the chicken.

I had already boiled the chicken earlier in the day. I recommend cooking your chicken (however you choose to, baking, boiling, or buying rotisserie) before hand. It makes this much easier to throw together when you're shorter on time. This is another easy recipe, with only 6 ingredients - chicken, buffalo sauce, cheddar cheese, egg, flour, and Panko breadcrumbs. The only time consuming part is making the balls and rolling them in the flour, egg and breadcrumbs.
