Firecracker Chicken Meatballs
🇺🇸 United States
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ - 2 lbs ground chicken (or turkey)
- 4 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ cup hot sauce (such as Frank's)
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼-½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Steps
- Preheat oven to 475°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan, combine hot sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, ¼ teaspoon salt, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool; sauce will thicken as it cools.
- In a large bowl, mix ground chicken, garlic, 1 ½ teaspoons salt, pepper, eggs, panko, paprika, and onion powder by hand until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Shape mixture into balls, about 3 tablespoons each. Place on prepared baking sheets and bake 11-13 minutes, until cooked through.
- Dip or brush each meatball with the sauce, then return to the baking sheet and bake an additional 1-2 minutes. Drizzle with extra sauce before serving.
