It was delicious!!! Probably one of the first times in awhile that I didn't have to do the main courses.

For us dinner was last night at my parent's house. Of course I neglected to take any pictures.

Deboned turkey done one the BBQ rotisserie, Ham, Roasted Potatoes, herbed carrots, broccoli salad, rolls, pumpkin pie and pineapple cake.

I wish I had the patience to debone a chicken/turkey and do it on the rotisserie. My absolute favorite food that my father makes for us, something I doubt I could ever make taste as good as his.

Sorry it took awhile. Been out and about...


Prep time:* 5 mins
Cook time:* 25 mins
Total time:* 30 mins

Serves:*18-22 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!
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)

INSTRUCTIONS
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.

I ended up going to Aplebees for my Easter meal. haha Nothing feasty here, but cool to see other's foods! Happy easter all!

Jacqui made this while I was at the golf course. I had no idea!
