Instructions
 
  1. Preheat oven to 375º F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine chicken, onion, celery, parsley, garlic, eggs, coconut flour, 1 tbsp low sodium hot sauce, cayenne pepper, and paprika. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Bake for about 25 minutes until lightly browned and fully cooked.
