The meatballs are good, but the firecracker sauce really elevates the meatballs. Everyone is going to love these, and it's super easy to lose track of how many you've eaten, so you might want to consider making a double batch.

Let's Get Started…

Things You Will Need:

Meatballs:

• 1 3/4 – 2 pounds ground chicken (or turkey)

• 4 teaspoons minced garlic

• 1 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon pepper

• 2 large eggs

• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs

• 1/2 teaspoon paprika

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

Firecracker Sauce: 

• 1/2 cup hot sauce (I recommend Franks)

• 1 cup light brown sugar

• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 -1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (depending on spice preference)

How To Prepare:

1. Preheat your oven to 475 degrees and get your cookie sheets ready by lining them with parchment paper.
2. Make your firecracker sauce by combining all of the space ingredients into a saucepan on the stove top. Your going to bring all of the ingredients to a boil and then reduce heat and let simmer for about eight minutes. Then remove from heat and allow time to cool.
3. Next, make your meatballs. Mix all of your meatball ingredients together and then shape balls. Then place on your cookie sheet and pop them into the oven and let cook for about thirteen minutes.
4. Remove meatballs from the oven and brush sauce over each ball. Place back into the oven for about two minutes, just to finish them off.

Enjoy!

Note: Feel free to host a Meatball Monday bash! Everyone will have such a blast that it might become a weekly routine in your home as well. If the party ends up with meatball overload, don't worry, you can freeze them for up to a month.

Finished!
