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:


  1. 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.
  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.
