  • Honey BBQ Sauce
    • 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
    • 2 tbsp. honey
    • 3/4 cup BBQ sauce
  • Baked Chicken Meatballs
    • 1 pound ground chicken
    • 1/2 tsp. paprika, smoked or regular
    • 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
    • 1/2 tsp. salt
    • 1 tsp. dried parsley
    • 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1/4 cup grated onion
    • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
    • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
    • 2 eggs
03 Method
  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and spray generously with cooking spray.
  • Step 2
    Add eggs to a large mixing bowl and whisk until light and creamy. Add panko, Parmesan, grated onion, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Using your hands (or with a wooden spoon), mix together all of the ingredients until evenly combined.
  • Step 3
    Using a 2-tbsp capacity cookie scoop, form meatballs and place them evenly spaced onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Step 4
    Bake for 22-24 minutes, or until the center reach 165°F. Towards the end of the cook time, add the BBQ sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar to a small saucepan set over low heat. Whisk as the mixture simmers until heated throughout.
  • Step 5
    Once fully cooked, let the meatballs cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Gently release them from the foil/paper if they stick a bit. Serve with a drizzle of honey BBQ sauce over top, or toss the meatballs in the sauce.
