Firecracker Chicken Meatballs

FIRECRACKER CHICKEN MEATBALLS

This is my favorite way to eat chicken meatballs. They’re spiced up with a sweet, savory, and spicy firecracker sauce. They’re tender, filled with flavor, and require minimum work!

Firecracker Chicken Meatballs

INGREDIENTS:

MEATBALLS:

·        1 ¾ – 2 pounds ground chicken (or turkey)

·        4 teaspoons minced garlic

·        1 ½ teaspoon salt

·        1 teaspoon pepper

·        2 large eggs

·        1 cup Panko breadcrumbs*

·        ½ teaspoon paprika

·        1 teaspoon onion powder

FIRECRACKER SAUCE:

·        ½ cup hot sauce (I recommend Franks)

·        1 cup light brown sugar

·        2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

·        ¼ teaspoon salt

·        ¼-½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (depending on spice preference)

DIRECTIONS:

1.  Position 2 racks near the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 475ºF. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, set aside.

2.  In a saucepan, combine the ingredients of the firecracker sauce over medium high heat, allow to come to a boil, reduce the heat so it simmers. Let simmer for 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the sauce to cool. The sauce will thicken as it cools so don’t worry if it looks thin.

3.  In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, garlic, salt pepper, eggs, panko, paprika, and onion powder. Use your hands to mix all the ingredients together. It’s easier to tell when he ingredients are combined when using hands. DO NOT OVERMIX, it will result in drier meatballs.
