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!
INGREDIENTS:
MEATBALLS:
- 1 � � 2 pounds ground chicken (or turkey)
- 4 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 � teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs*
- � teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
FIRECRACKER SAUCE:
- � cup hot sauce (I recommend Franks)
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- � teaspoon salt
- �-� teaspoon red pepper flakes (depending on spice preference)
DIRECTIONS:
- Position 2 racks near the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 475�F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, set aside.
- 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.
