This recipe for firecracker chicken meatballs have been stuck in my head at the endless circle for the past few weeks. I have been craving something with more spice, but also a little sweet. And what's more perfect than a game day foods that are actually somewhat healthy (they're baked!) and still have a lot of flavor but not your plain old meatballs covered in marinara? Firecrackers. The sauce. FTW!

The meatballs roast chicken is one of the favorite food Anees's. Obviously this is a recent development. Because until a few weeks ago, they didn't even exist.

This is my favorite way to eat chicken meatballs. They are seasoned with a sweet, savory, and spicy sauce firecrackers. Their tender, full of flavor, and require minimum work!

Ingredients:

The meatballs:

1 ¾-2 pounds ground chicken (or Turkey)

4 teaspoons minced garlic

1 ½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground pepper

2 large eggs

1 cup Panko bread crumbs *

½ teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon onion powder

FIRECRACKER SAUCE:

½ Cup hot sauce (I recommend Frank)

1 cup light brown sugar

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

¼ teaspoon salt

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

Direction:

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

In a saucepan, combine sauce ingredients firecracker Heat, allow to come to a boil, reduce heat so that mediator. Simmer for 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow sauce to cool. This sauce will thicken as it cools so don't worry if it looks thin.

In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, garlic, salt, pepper, egg, panko, bell pepper, and onion powder. Use your hands to mix all the ingredients together. It's easier to say when he combined materials with the use of hands. DO NOT OVERMIX, it will result in a dry Meatball.

Shape meat mixture into balls, about 3 tablespoons of meat per ball. You can also do this with a scoop of ice cream. Place the prepared baking sheet in shape. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until meatballs are cooked completely.

Use 2 tablespoons of dipping meatballs every individual into the sauce. Alternately, you can brush each Meatball with sauce. Place back on the baking sheet and bake for an additional minute 1-2. Drizzle or brush with extra sauce as desired.

Note:

Panko is breadcrumbs Japan style.

The combination of ground chicken and Turkey can be used for making meatballs.

If you want to serve Your meatballs with sauce, I would double the ingredients for the sauce part as this recipe makes enough to Polish.

Mix meatballs can be prepared the night before and baked the day, if desired.
