FIRECRACKER CHICKEN MEATBALLS

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!

This recipe for firecracker chicken meatballs has been stuck in my head on an endless loop for the last several weeks. I had been craving something with a little more spice, yet a little sweet too. And what’s more perfect than game day food that’s actually somewhat healthy (they’re baked!) and still has tons of flavor but isn’t your regular old meatball covered in marinara? FIRECRACKER. SAUCE. FTW!


INGREDIENTS:
MEATBALLS

  • 1 ¾ – 2 pounds ground chicken (or turkey)
  • 4 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs*
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
FIRECRACKER SAUCE
  • ½ cup hot sauce (I recommend Franks)
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼-½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (depending on spice preference)


DIRECTIONS:

  1. Position 2 racks near the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 475ºF. 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.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, garlic, salt pepper, eggs, panko, paprika, and onion powder. Use your hands to mix all the ingredients together. It’s easier to tell when he ingredients are combined when using hands. DO NOT OVERMIX, it will result in drier meatballs.
  4. Shape the meat mixture into ball, about 3 tablespoons of meat per ball. You can also do this with an ice cream scoop. Place shaped meatballs on prepared baking sheet. bake for 11-13 minutes or until the meatballs are completely cooked.
  5. Using 2 tablespoon, dip each individual meatball into the sauce. Alternately, you can brush each meatball with the sauce. Place back on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 1-2 minutes. Drizzle or brush with additional sauce as desired.

Orange Cream Cooler

One of the greatest memories I have of going out to eat when I was a kid was going to Olga's with my mom and sisters. I loved to get the three cheese olga with an orange cream cooler. My mom wouldn't always let us get the cream cooler, so it was a 'special' treat when we did! This protein packed Orange Cream Cooler tastes almost identical to Olga's famous shake. The only difference is that my version is high in protein, low in sugar, and only has about 200 calories! Beat that Olga's!! INGREDIENTS: 1 Scoop vanilla protein powder 1/2 cup Low fat cottage cheese [1] 51/2 tsp orange extract OR 4-5 True Orange Packets 3-5 Packets of NuStevia (or sweetener of choice) 1/2 cup Skim milk OR Milk of choice OR Water 8-16 Ice cubes (varies based on desired thickness) 2-4 Drops orange food coloring (or a mix of red and yellow) INSTRUCTIONS: The estimated total time to make this recipe is 5-10 minutes. Add all of the ingredients to a blender, adding the wa
