Instructions

1. Add all of the chicken meatball ingredients into a large mixing bowl and use your hands to combine until all of the ingredients are incorporated, taking care not to over-mix the meat. Refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes if the mixture seems to wet, or to just make the ground chicken easier to roll
2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with oven-safe parchment paper or spray with a light coating of olive oil
3. Form the mixture into 18 to 20 meatballs by rolling between your palms and then place each one directly onto the prepared sheet pan. Tip: spray your hands with a bit of oil to prevent the mixture from sticking
4. Once all of the ground chicken has been rolled into meatballs, place the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 16-18 minutes
5. While the meatballs are cooking, make the firecracker sauce by adding all of the sauce ingredients into a small bowl and whisk well until it’s completely combined, or mix it together using a food processor or blender
6. Once the meatballs are done cooking, serve by either heating the sauce and drizzling it over the meatballs, or tossing the meatballs directly in the firecracker sauce. Reserve a bit of the firecracker sauce for any roasted vegetables or rice if desired
