Main Ingredients

    1 lb ground chicken

Cooking

  • Form into balls and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
    1 cup breadcrumbs
  • Transfer to a saucepan and coat with BBQ sauce, simmer for 5-10 minutes.

Notes

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, freeze for 2-3 months, ensuring to reheat gently to maintain moisture. I've found that letting them rest in the sauce after cooking enhances the flavors beautifully.
