Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with foil for easier cleanup; set aside.
To a large mixing bowl, add the egg, panko bread crumbs, Parmesan, garlic and onion powders, smoked paprika, and mix to combine, using either very clean hands or a wooden spoon. Tip - Don't overmix or the meatballs will be tougher.
Using a small scoop, form 1 to 1 1/2-inch meatballs, place them on the prepared baking sheet evenly spaced apart, and bake for 8 minutes. They will not be cooked through at this point, but will finish cooking in the slow cooker.* (See Notes for using store bought meatballs)
Transfer the meatballs to a 6 to 8-quart slow cooker, evenly drizzle with buffalo wing sauce, cover your slow cooker, and cook on low for about 2 hours.
Optionally serve with ranch dressing, and/or carrot and celery sticks, if desired. Meatballs will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months.
